Snowpack Summary
Another 25cms fell overnight in the Alpine. Thats an average of 20cms's a day for the last 5 days. This recent snow with moderate South winds has built widespread storm slabs. The Halloween crust is the layer we're watching and it's down approx 80-100cm. The snowpack is still very thin below 1700m
Avalanche Summary
In the Highway corridor this morning forecasters observed fresh debris to size 2.5 that ran into avalanche path runouts. There was also a report of a size 3 avalanche off of the East aspect of Grizzly Peak in the Connaught drainage. This increase in avalanche activity can be attributed to recent snow loading and strong winds in the alpine.
