Avalanche Forecast
Regions: Glacier.
Weather Forecast
Cloudy with sunny periods and freeze lines rising up to 1700m. Light to locally moderate precipitation rates are forecast for this region, and may come as rain or snow. Cool unsettled weather is forecast for the next few days.
Snowpack Summary
An overnight freeze has left the surface snow crusty at tree-line and alpine elevations, although some dry snow may be found on due north aspects above 2400m extreme winds have blown this into possible slabs. The mid and lower snowpack are very well settled but no refreeze at Rogers Pass plot means low elevation is still loose and wet.
Avalanche Summary
Yesterdays natural avalanche cycle produced numerous avalanches from all aspects up to size 3.0. This was followed by some activity overnight from before the freezing temperatures up to size 3.0. Yesterdays shoot produced avalanches up to size 2.5 from about 1/2 the shots.
