Avalanche Forecast
Regions: Glacier.
Weather Forecast
Overcast skies with sunny breaks are expected today, with very light precipitation and light NW winds. More precipitation is expected on Friday, but only light amounts. Temperatures will stay mild.
Snowpack Summary
Recent storm snow has developed into a wind slab in the alpine, and rests on a well settled mid-pack. The Nov. 28 crust-surface hoar layer, and the Nov. 6 crust can both be found in profiles, but are not very reactive in tests.
Avalanche Summary
A few isolated natural avalanches were observed from steep terrain yesterday, mostly from north aspects. Avalanche control produced several slab avalanches up to size 3.5. Most of these were high elevation targets where cross loading was a factor.
Confidence
Timing, track, or intensity of incoming weather system is uncertain on Friday
