Avalanche Forecast

A couple size 2 windslab avalanches were observed along the spray today.

One of which was off repeater slope (lookers right when in the Tryst lakes exit gully) this came across the whole feature. This started from steep crossloaded terrain above.

Lots of loose dry activity poring off the steepest alpine faces.

5-8cm of new snow over the past few days has done little to change the overall avalanche danger. Winds were much stronger today from the NW and has helped build new windslabs.

The cold temps are only making the weak base weaker. Unfortunately this will likely remain with us for the season....

The new snow is likely to sluff easily in steeper terrain. This is of particular importance to ice climbers who are often in steep gullies.

Sunday we will contuine to see a warming trend to a high of -5. Scattered sun and no precip expected. Light easterly winds.

Possibility for 7cm of snow and cooler temps once again. -14 as a day time high. West winds will hit 40km/h

• Ice climbers should be equipped with avalanche safety gear.
• Loose avalanches may start small but they can grow and push you into dangerous terrain.
• Winter conditions may exist in gullies, alpine bowls, and around ridgelines.
