Regions

Glacier.

Be on the lookout for wind-loaded areas in the alpine. These may be reactive to human triggering.

Confidence

High

Avalanche Summary

There have not been any recent natural or human triggered avalanches reported in the last few days.

MIN reports have observed pockets of wind slab in the alpine.

Snowpack Summary

Recent winds have created wind effect in the alpine and exposed areas at treeline. Some sheltered spots still hold soft snow. A thin suncrust exists on steep solars.

Surface hoar has been observed in sheltered areas and is buried under 5cms of recent snow.

A crust is down 40-60cm in the snowpack, and exists up to approximately 2200m.

Weather Summary

Unsettled weather will give light snowfall and gusty winds

Tonight Cloudy with flurries, Snow: 4cms, Winds: SW 25km/hr, low -9°C, Freezing Level(FZL) 900m.

Thurs Cloudy with flurries, Winds: West 20 km/hr gusting 50, alpine high -5°C, FZL 1200m.

Fri Cloudy with flurries. Snow 7cms. Wind: West 10-30km/hr, Alpine high -5°C, FZL 1300m.

Sat Cloudy with scattered. Snow: 9cms. Wind: SW 15km/hr gusting 55, FZL 1300m

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Carefully evaluate steep lines for wind slabs.
  • Be careful with wind-loaded pockets, especially near ridge crests and rollovers.

Problems

Wind Slabs

Wind Slab avalanches are the release of a cohesive layer of snow (a slab) formed by the wind. Wind typically transports snow from the upwind sides of terrain features and deposits snow on the downwind side. Wind slabs are often smooth and rounded and sometimes sound hollow, and can range from soft to hard. Wind slabs that form over a persistent weak layer (surface hoar, depth hoar, or near-surface facets) may be termed Persistent Slabs or may develop into Persistent Slabs.
