Avalanche Forecast

Moderate - Timing, track, or intensity of incoming weather system is uncertain on Sunday

Between 10-15 cm of new snow is expected to fall from Sunday afternoon to Monday morning Winds associated with the system should be moderate to strong from the west. A dry ridge of high pressure will bring increasingly clear skies for Monday afternoon and Tuesday. Daytime freezing levels should hover around 1700m for the forecast period.

Sporadic cornice falls have occurred over the last week, some triggering slabs on the slope below. Otherwise, no new avalanches have been reported.

Large cornices overhang alpine slopes and threaten to trigger avalanches on slopes below. Recently formed wind slabs may be isolated to alpine wind-loaded terrain. In many places, the snow surface consists of a crust or moist snow and the snowpack is generally strong. Deeply buried weak layers near the ground are becoming hard to find, but may remain sensitive to triggering from thin snowpack areas or with large loads such as cornice fall.
