    Outflow winds have created small wind slabs on lee and cross-loaded slopes. These can be triggered by the weight of a person. Also, keep an eye out for large unstable cornices that threaten your route.

Good

Weather Forecast

Expect cloudy skies and possible light flurries over the next three days. The freezing level makes a gradual rise towards 2000 m by Saturday, and may peak near 2300 m on Sunday. Winds are light to moderate from the SW to NW.

Avalanche Summary

A skier remotely triggered a size 1.5 wind slab on Tuesday on a SE aspect in the alpine. Otherwise there has been little recent avalanche activity.

Snowpack Summary

North and west winds have created isolated stiff wind slabs 5 to 10cm thick on lee and cross-loaded slopes. On other slopes you may find tired old wind slabs, a sun crust on all solar aspects, surface hoar, surface facets, and/or up to 5 cm of soft snow over a widespread supportive rain crust in wind sheltered areas. The snowpack is generally strong and well settled. However, large cornices may become weak with daytime warming.
