Alpine temperatures should reach -15 celsius under a mix of sun and cloud. Winds will increase to 35km/h from the West. No precipitation is in the immediate forecast.
Avalanche Summary
The avalanche cycle continued today, but natural activity is tapering off. Numerous loose dry and slab avalanches up to size 2.0 were observed today. Generally speaking the slab avalanches are not propagating widely, but some of the slabs are stepping down to the November rain crust.
Snowpack Summary
Recent storm snow of 50 to 70cm has settled rapidly in the past 24hrs. Increased winds are now redistributing this low density snow and forming more extensive wind slabs in Alpine and Treeline terrain. The November rain crust remains a prominent feature near the base of the snowpack.
