Highlights

Watch for unstable snow on extreme, steep, or pockets of unsupported alpine terrain. Low Danger indicates natural and human triggered avalanches are unlikely but not impossible. Small avalanches in extreme terrain can have calamitous consequences.

    The wind slab problem distribution is spotty. The sensitivity varies depending on where higher amounts of snow has accumulated.

Snowpack Summary

5-10 cm of soft snow is covering various old surfaces such as melt freeze crusts plus wind affected snow. A thin surface hoar is buried under 5- 15 cm of snow and is very patchy in its distribution. The rest of the snowpack is generally dense and well consolidated.

Weather Summary

Sunday to Tuesday will be sun and flurries, light winds, -9 to -21 °C. 5cm of new snow is possible on Monday.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be careful with wind-loaded pockets, especially near ridge crests and rollovers.

Confidence

High

  • We are confident due to a stable weather pattern.
