A few cm's of snow is expected but its gonna take a fair bit to improve the ski quality! If you don't mind low ski penetration, and fast travel and 2-5 good turns on a trip, now is the time to get out! Sorry wish it was better news.... Windslabs still dominate the landscape.
Summary
Confidence
Weather Forecast
Light flurries are forecast over the next 24hrs but its gonna take alot more than light flurries to repair the wind damage! Winds will be light out of the south and temperatures in the -10C range
Avalanche Summary
No new avalanches have been observed over the past 24hrs.
Snowpack Summary
Well some facetting is making for light snow in the trees but anywhere that could be wind affected is. No snow in quite some time now is essentially making the skiing pretty grim out there. Great travel though! Just keep windslabs in your mind though also think about what will be when it snows again!
Terrain and Travel
- Be careful with wind slabs, especially in steep, unsupported and/or convex terrain features.
- Pay attention to isolated alpine features as well as cross-loaded features at treeline.
Problems
Wind Slabs
Expect these slabs to slowly break down with the cold. Thin spots will facet(weaken) quicker and become more and more likely to be a trigger as the colder weather continues.
Aspects: All aspects.
Elevations: Alpine, Treeline.
