Weather Forecast

Mountain Weather Forecast

Snowpack Summary

Overnight crust formation up to 2500m on all aspects (higher on solar aspects), which gradually breaks down with daytime heating. 10-20cm of settled dry snow in high Northerly terrain. Isolated pockets of wind slab may exist in the alpine. Persistent slab problems may linger in thin and shaded alpine areas.

Avalanche Summary

Loose wet avalanches up to size 2 were observed over the weekend from all aspects. This is expected to continue through the week with the avalanche hazard starting as low/low/low in the morning and increasing as the day warms up, especially on solar aspects.
