Weather Forecast

A pretty stagnant air mass

Cloudy with sunny periods

Day time highs -10 with overnight lows -16

Winds will continue to stay light

Snowpack Summary

Continued surface faceting with cooler temperatures. Previous strong to extreme winds have stripped snow from all exposed terrain creating a lot of hard wind slabs and wind affected snow in open terrain below treeline to the alpine. The midpack is supportive. Decomposing surface hoar is found down 40cm to 80cm in isolated sheltered locations.

Wind Slabs

Last weeks wind event scoured most alpine terrain. Watch for isolated slabs in lee features in the alpine

Aspects: All aspects.

Elevations: Alpine.

Likelihood: Unlikely - Possible

Expected Size: 1 - 2

Persistent Slabs

Use caution around thin to thick areas as potential trigger locations. Keep an eye out for buried surface hoar lurking in isolated sheltered locations below treeline.

  • Dig down to find and test weak layers before committing to a line.

Aspects: All aspects.

Elevations: All elevations.

Likelihood: Unlikely - Possible

Expected Size: 1 - 2.5
