    Wet loose avalanches are possible on steep slopes when the surface is wet or moist.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain due to a limited number of field observations.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported since Wednesday, but observations have been very limited.

Snowpack Summary

10 to 30 cm of recent storm snow, accompanied by strong westerly wind, has buried a thick crust on all aspects and elevations except high north. The crust may be on the surface on west slopes and deeper deposits may be found on east aspects. The snow surface will become moist on sun exposed slopes during the day on Sunday.

The remainder of the snowpack is moist to ground.

The snowpack depth at treeline ranges from 85 to 130 cm, there is very little snow below treeline.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Pay attention to isolated wind affected features in the alpine, as well as cross-loaded features at treeline.
  • Be alert to conditions that change with elevation and sun exposure.
  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
