Lo esencial

The basal weak layers are giving low confidence in the snowpack. Although hard to trigger, any avalanche that is initiated could be large and destructive. Cooler temps should reduce the solar triggered avalanche activity, but keep an eye on this.

Problemas de aludes

  • Wind Slabs

    • Alta montaña
    • Límite del bosque
    • Bajo el límite del bosque
    Probabilidad
    Possible
    Tamaño
    2–4
    Wind slabs are widespread on lee and cross-loaded features at Treeline and above. Concern for human triggering remains in shallow snowpack areas and convex/unsupported terrain.

  • Persistent Slabs

    • Alta montaña
    • Límite del bosque
    • Bajo el límite del bosque
    Probabilidad
    Possible
    Tamaño
    3–6
    Avalanches could step down to the basal October layers and involve the entire winters snowpack. Wide propagations are possible. Shallow snowpack areas are a potential trigger point.

Confidence

Good

Weather Forecast

Sunny conditions expected Monday with temperatures near -9 degrees. Winds will be light to moderate from the North. No snow is expected.

Avalanche Summary

Nothing new.

Snowpack Summary

Surface hoar up to 15mm in sheltered areas below 2000m. Sun crust on solar aspects at all elevations. Variable wind slab at all elevations and all aspects except SW and W. Basal facets/depth hoar persist.
