A robust crust extending to mountain tops has made mountain travel difficult.

High

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported.

Snowpack Summary

A robust crust exists on the snow surface up to mountain tops. In areas up to 5 cm of recent, dry snow may sit atop the crust.

Where snow still exists below treeline, it is isothermal and travel is very challenging.

Weather Summary

Thursday Night

Cloudy with 0 to 2 cm of snow. 10 to 20 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -6 °C.

Friday

Mix of sun and cloud. 0 to 10 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -6 °C.

Saturday

Mostly cloudy. 20 to 30 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.

Sunday

Cloudy with 2 to 5 cm of snow. 30 to 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • When a thick, melt-freeze surface crust is present, avalanche activity is unlikely.
  • Expect shallow snow cover that barely covers ground roughness.
