Avalanche Forecast
Regions: Glacier.
Weather Forecast
Plenty of sunshine today, with alpine highs around -13*C and light SE winds. Temperatures will drop on Thursday and then be their coldest on Friday. With no snow in the forecast until possibly Sunday, this Arctic Ridge has effectively blocked any moisture coming from the Pacific Ocean.
Snowpack Summary
Light snow over the weekend has hidden widespread hard wind slabs formed during the cold Arctic outbreak. Wind accompanying the new snow has formed thin surface slabs in the immediate lee of ridges and alpine features. Recent snowpack tests indicate both of these slabs are stubborn to initiate and move slowly if propagated.
Avalanche Summary
No new avalanche activity observed in the highway corridor in the last 72hrs, including during artillery explosive testing yesterday on Mt Macdonald.
