Forecasted snow accumulation values are uncertain with the incoming system. With the current snowpack structure, any significant load will dramatically change the avalanche hazard.
Summary
Weather Forecast
Warmer temperatures have arrived and are expected to continue over the week. Day time highs are expected to reach above freezing. A large low pressure system is moving across western Canada, bringing precipitation to the forecast region. Forecasted accumulation values have been varied.
Snowpack Summary
Hard wind slabs at treeline and above have formed over the past week from a Northern arctic air mass. These hard slabs are in many start zone areas overlying a weak, faceted snowpack. Loose snow on steep southerly aspects at lower elevations have cause loose snow avalanches entraining facets, warming temps and sun are the suspect trigger.
Avalanche Summary
Skier accidental size 1.5 off panorama meadows (Taylor Lake area) reported yesterday evening. Slab released on the deep persistent problem nobody was involved. Numerus loose dry avalanches were observed today from steep southerly aspects, snow appeared to be triggered from warming temps and solar output, entraining the faceted snowpack below.
