Conservative choices are a must, don't push it and don't go for it. The current health care system is under enough stress due to COVID19 pandemic. Mostly cloudy with light flurries on Monday.

Monday is forecast for mostly a cloudy sky with sunny breaks with up to 3cm of snow. The hight temperature will be -3c in the alpine along with strong SW winds. Freezing level is expected to be valley bottom.

Snow is expected to start late Tuesday with upwards of 10-15cm of snow.

Numerous dry loose stuffs have been observed up to size 1.5, mostly on steeper terrain.

5cm of snow that fell Saturday has sluffed in steeper terrain and has probably become moist to some degree on solar aspects. Polar aspects have remained dry. Sunday's strong westerly flow in the alpine has created some slabbing, especially in lee areas. Expect to find crusts on solar aspects. Thin weak areas are the key places to be mindful of and the potential to awaken the basal layers. 

• Avoid convexities, steep unsupported terrain and rocky outcroppings.
• Recent wind has varied in direction so watch for wind slabs on all aspects.
• Be aware of the potential for large avalanches due to the presence of a deep persistent slab.
• Avoid areas with a thin or variable snowpack.
