Regions: Glacier.

Winter is creeping in but it's still a little early for skiing in Glacier National Park. Expect to walk a ways through the rain to get to any snow. Watch for windslabs and use caution on glaciers where crevasses are very shallowly bridged.

Weather Forecast

Snowpack Summary

Snowline is at approximately 1700m, with 20cm of snow at 1900m on Oct 30. Since then freezing levels have risen; it is presently +2'C at 2150m and Fidelity has received 10mm of rain in the past 24hrs. Expect small pockets of windslab in lee areas and use caution on glaciers where crevasses will be thinly bridged. A rain crust exists at the base.

Avalanche Summary

A few small, loose avalanches were observed on October 30th.

Confidence

Avalanche Problems

Loose Dry

Avalanches are possible as snow amounts slowly increase. Watch for fluctuating freezing levels, which may result in rain up high and  weaken the snowpack.
Watch for terrain traps where small amounts of snow will acumulate into deep deposits.Caution in lee and cross-loaded terrain near ridge crests.

Aspects: All aspects.

Elevations: Alpine.

Likelihood: Unlikely - Possible

Expected Size: 1 - 2
