Regions

Glacier.

Three times Low. Continue to practice the principles of  good avalanche terrain management and safe travel through the landscape.  Plan to be back well before dark.

Weather Forecast

Little in the way of precipitation for the next couple days.  Thin cloud, potentially light flurries and light winds for the next couple days.

Snowpack Summary

light snowfall over the last few days (6cm) has softly covered old snow surfaces in the forecast area. On colder northerly aspects the recent snow covers 15cm of recrystallized facets. On steep solar aspects it sits on top of thin sun crusts and along ridgelines it may be hiding rocks and other hazards such as pockets of windslab.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanche observations.

Confidence

Due to the quality of field observations

Problems

Loose Dry

Loose Dry avalanches are the release of dry unconsolidated snow and typically occur within layers of soft snow near the surface of the snowpack. These avalanches start at a point and entrain snow as they move downhill, forming a fan-shaped avalanche. Other names for loose-dry avalanches include point-release avalanches or sluffs.
