Avalanche Forecast

High

Nothing was seen today. Visibility was poor.

Our flurries have started to add up. At Burstall Pass today there was about 10cm from the past day or two. There was also some older snow that made it feel like there is 20-30cm of soft snow on the surface. Keep in mind Burstall Pass is somewhat of a local anomaly for depth and quality of snow, but its encouraging to see snow accumulate none the less. Winds have just touched the new snow and have left soft windslabs in immediate lee areas, but they taper quickly. The deeper, more concerning layers are there, but becoming harder to find. The Dec 7th crust was barely visible today, and the deeper Oct crust was there, but not reactive. Expect that to be different from drainage to drainage. Dig down and reacquaint yourself with the snow if you're heading into uncharted terrain.

Feels like winter out there! Tomorrow will once again see light winds from the west. Temperatures will settle to -14 overnight and rise to -9 for tomorrow afternoon. Skies will remain cloudy with continued flurries. We can expect a few centimeters to add up by tomorrow afternoon.

• If triggered, wind slabs avalanches may step down to deeper layers resulting in larger avalanches.
• Pay attention to the wind; once it starts to blow, sensitive wind slabs are likely to form.
