Thin cloud should reduce solar effects today. If the clouds break watch for signs, like sluffing off of cliffs, that the snowpack is warming up. Solar triggered avalanches are possible. Minimize exposure to cornices which may be weakened by the sun.
Summary
Weather Forecast
Dry and mild conditions will continue due to the ridge of high pressure through Tuesday. Temps will rise to just below 0'C, with moderate to strong S to W winds. Thin high cloud should reduce solar effects today, but Monday looks clear with strong solar. Later on Tuesday the next system will move in, possibly (hopefully) bringing more snow.
Snowpack Summary
Sustained moderate to strong southerly winds have created pockets of touchy windslab on lee slopes and windeffect on exposed slopes at treeline and above. A layer down 30-50cm has been most reactive on steep solar aspects where it is composed of facets/surface hoar on a crust. Below this the snowpack is well settled and generally strong.
Avalanche Summary
Skiers have reported triggerable hard windslabs. On Friday, a size 1 triggered at the top of "Puff Daddy" on a NE aspect at treeline, fractured 5m above a skier. It was 30cm deep and ran 50m. There continue to be a few large (sz 2-3) natural avalanches observed daily. These have been triggered by windloading and are from paths with lee start zones.
