Looks like a nice day tomorrow. Given the ski quality, going higher for longer could make more sense than sniffing around for good snow. Put the good travel conditions to use!
Summary
Confidence
Moderate -
Weather Forecast
Tomorrow will start at a chilly -10, but gradually warm up to about -2. Light cloud for most of the day, but expect some blue skies to shine through occasionally. Winds will light to moderate out of the northwest. No snow. All in all its shaping up to be a very nice day.Â
Avalanche Summary
Nothing new today.
Snowpack Summary
This morning had a good solid refreeze which helped to lock everything in place. While air temps stayed below zero, the sun is starting to have some heat. Possibly enough to even form a sun crust on steep solar aspects by tomorrow morning. We haven't had any snow for a long time, and as such we've seen very little change to our snowpack as a whole. Windslabs are still widespread in most areas and remain our biggest avalanche problem.Â
Terrain and Travel
- Avoid exposure to steep, sun exposed slopes, especially when the solar radiation is strong.
- Be careful with wind slabs, especially in steep, unsupported and/or convex terrain features.
Problems
Wind Slabs
Its worth considering how aspect will influence these slab's reactivity. Polar aspects will be slightly touchier than anything solar.
Aspects: All aspects.
Elevations: Alpine, Treeline.
