South Coast

It is a good time to tackle bigger objectives, but keep your guard up. Avalanches are still possible in LOW danger.

High - The weather pattern is stable

Saturday: Mainly sunny. The freezing level is around 1000 m. Winds are generally light from the Southeast. Sunday: A mix of sun and cloud. The freezing level is around 1300 m. Winds are light and variable. Monday: Sunny with cloudy periods. The freezing level is around 1500 m. Winds are generally light-moderate from the Southwest.

No new avalanches have been reported but watch for loose snow sluffing in steep terrain and sun-exposed slopes, and small wind slabs in lee and cross-loaded terrain in the alpine.

Up to 15 cm of dry snow sits on a variety of old surfaces including a melt-freeze crust on solar aspects in the alpine, smooth old snow on higher elevation lee slopes, and well-developed surface hoar in sheltered areas at treeline and lower elevations. This dry surface snow could be capped by a sun crust on some steep solar aspects, or a fresh layer of surface hoar on sheltered and shady slopes. Variable winds have created soft wind slabs in lee and cross-loaded terrain in alpine areas. The mid and lower snowpack is generally strong.
