Natural activity has tapered off, but human triggered avalanches in steep terrain are likely due to the basal weaknesses. This is not the time to venture into big terrain. CJ
Summary
Weather Forecast
Mainly sunny conditions with light west winds, no significant precipitation, and alpine temperatures between -3 and -10'C are forecast for the next few days. Freezing level near valley bottom on Monday, rising to 1800m on Tuesday and dropping to valley bottom again on Wednesday.
Snowpack Summary
Widespread wind slabs in lee and cross loaded features at tree line and above. Most windward features are scoured to ground from last weeks wind. Easy, sudden collapse compression test results in the basal depth hoar found at tree line on Hwy 93 N (E side of the highway). Some moist snow on steep solar aspects in the afternoon.
Avalanche Summary
Observed some small solar triggered moist sluffs to size 1, and and one notable size 3 on a S facing alpine feature near Mt. Hector which stepped down to the ground in the last 48hrs. Most natural activity has ceased. Evidence of the widespread cycle from the last week is sobering, with many features failing wall to wall on the basal weak layers.
