New snow at tree line and above have settled into soft slabs with warmer temperatures and Light winds.
Cooling trend leading into the weekend should tighten up a stressed, moist snowpack. Good riding quality and support at TL and Above but, improving at all elevations; quite good in the Alpine!

Wednesday: Cloudy with scattered flurries, High -2 C. Wind W: 15-35 km/h. FZL: 1900 m
Thursday: Cloudy with sunny periods and isolated flurries. Low -10 C, High -8 C. Wind west: 15-35 km/h.
Friday: Cloudy with sunny periods and isolated flurries. Low -9 C, High -6 C. Wind SW: 10-30 km/h. FZL: 1500 m
Up to 25cm of new snow above 2000 m with minimal wind effect overlies sun crust at all elevations and a melt-freeze crust up to 2100m on all aspects. Snow pack below 1700m is mostly isothermal and unsupportive due to steady warm temperatures and rain.
Natural slab/loose wet avalanche cycle occurring in the region, especially BTL. Control work producing predictable loose wet and loose slabs from low elevation targets. Few observations due to very poor visibility.
