Avalanche Forecast
Regions: Glacier.
Weather Forecast
A cold air mass moving down from the north will bring cooler temperatures and dry conditions for the next several days. For today, expect a mix of sun and cloud, no precipitation, an alpine temperature of -8, light winds and freezing levels at 900m. The high pressure system will be fully established by early next week.
Snowpack Summary
40cm of snow covers a surface hoar or suncrust layer at TL & sheltered ALP locations. Winds have created a soft slab on this layer in specific lee or cross-loaded features. The October 26th crust near ground may be poorly bonded on some high elevation north aspects.
Avalanche Summary
Small loose dry point releases out of steep N aspects in the alpine have been observed in the past 48hrs. Snow stability tests show resistant planar results in the upper snowpack indicating that human triggering is possible.
