Avalanche Forecast
Regions: Glacier.
Weather Forecast
An unorganized weather pattern is upon us We could see 1cm to 10cm of snow above 1900m, winds are currently mod-gusting to strong from the NE, but are forecasted to switch to the SW today and stay in the Mod range. FL may hover near 1900m or could start cooling after lunch depending which forecast to believe.
Snowpack Summary
5cm of new snow overlies a series of crusts on most asp up to 1900m. Polar asp will be holding the best quality snow @ upper treeline and above. A snow profile on Mt Fidelity yesterday showed a HS of 325cm, snow was dry throughout and little to no results on snow pack tests.
Avalanche Summary
No new avalanche activity observed in the highway corridor yesterday (but we had poor visibility). TRU observed a natural cornice to size 2 in the Perley area and our neighbors are still observing large natural avalanches. Earlier in the week cornices were failing and a few storm slabs and loose wet slides to size 2.
Confidence
Timing, track, or intensity of incoming weather system is uncertain
