Avalanche Forecast

Temperatures will drop with the passing of this storm front, bringing moderate to strong NW winds on Thursday. Unsettled conditions will result in squalls, delivering light amounts of snow.

In the ALP and TL, recent storms have previously deposited 10-30 cm of snow which sits on top of suncrusts on solar aspects and facetted snow on polar aspects. Windslabs exist in immediate lee features in the alpine, and are developing with the current strong SW winds. The addition of up to 10-20cm of snow tonight will create touchy storm slabs.

Yesterday, a field team in the White Pyramid area on the 93N remote triggered a small, thin windslab of little consequence in the alpine today.  Reports indicate increased winds were causing numerous loose dry avalanches out of steep alpine terrain. We expect a natural avalanche cycle to occur during the peak of the storm tonight.

Timing, track, or intensity of incoming weather system is uncertain
