Snowpack Summary
Around 25cm of new snow in the last 36 hours. Moderate SW winds are creating new thin wind slabs in alpine lees over old hard wind slab or previous wind scoured rock. The mid-pack is around 80cm thick above a thin crust near the ground in some locations. Rain and warm temperatures are eating away the snowpack at the lower elevations.
Avalanche Summary
Explosive control on Parker Slabs on Monday produced thin wind slabs not propagating far. A few small natural slab avalanches out of steep lee features were also observed. Also a notable large avalanche off Whistler Mountain running to mid path near Jasper.
