Lo esencial

The snowpack is still very shallow, but Alpine areas have enough snow to avalanche. Wind slabs are a concern in steep and unsupported terrain. Ice climbers should also be aware of small loose dry avalanches from overhead terrain.

Weather Forecast

Light snow Saturday night and through the day Sunday with accumulations between 5 and 10cm possible. Temps should be in the -10 to -15 range with light to moderate northerly winds.

Avalanche Summary

Visibility was limited today, but evidence of a isolated loose dry activity up to size 1.5 from steep Alpine terrain.

Snowpack Summary

Up to 25cm of snow is overlying a 5cm thick crust that is 30-35cm off the ground. Wind slabs are now buried in alpine areas, with thin fresh slabs building in top. At treeline and below the snowpack remains very thin.. 

Terrain and Travel

  • Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind affected terrain.
