Lo esencial

Good skiing West of the divide in sheltered areas.  Avoid thin areas in big alpine features as the basal layer can still be triggered.  SH

Problemas de aludes

    • Límite del bosque
    • Bajo el límite del bosque
    Probabilidad
    Possible
    Tamaño
    1–2
    Places which have a well defined sun crust will be the most susceptible to triggering a storm slab.  At the moment these are of lower consequence and thin (15-30cm) and isolated to specific terrain features.

  • Deep Persistent Slabs

    Tamaño

    Thin snowpack areas in steep, alpine terrain will be the place to trigger the basal depth hoar/crust. 

Weather Forecast

Light N winds Sunday with a mix of sun and cloud and a trace of snow. Temperatures will again be in the minus 20's in the mornings, and highs in the -10 to -15C range.

Snowpack Summary

5-15cm of snow over the Jan 30th surface hoar/sun crust layer. Surface hoar most prominent at treeline and below. In Yoho today, thin wind slabs (15cm) over 5cm sun crust on steep S aspects reactive to skier triggering. The basal facets remain weak, but the overall snowpack is gaining strength. Glacial coverage very thin for this time of year.

Avalanche Summary

One size 2 natural cornice triggered avalanche on a SE aspect in Yoho occurred within the last 48 hours.  This was a thin slab in extreme terrain.
