Avalanche Forecast
Regions: Glacier.
Weather Forecast
A series of cool and moist weather systems move through the region over the next few days. Today expect showers/flurries with freezing levels at 2000m, moderate SW winds and a few sunny breaks. Thursday will be similar but slightly warmer with alpine temps of +3'C. On Friday expect a mix of sun and cloud, with freezing levels lowering to 1800m.
Snowpack Summary
There was no overnight recovery last night, and it is presently raining to at least 1900m. The snowpack on solar aspects is moist and composed of multiple crusts, while on sheltered north aspects dry snow can still be found above ~2100m. A 30-60cm slab over a crust on solar aspects and surface hoar on North aspects remains a concern.
Avalanche Summary
Yesterday strong solar and warm temps continued to trigger numerous loose and slab avalanches from all aspects other than due North, starting at elevations ranging from 1800m to 2600m. Most of the wet avalanches were 2.5's but there were a few size 3's, including another size 3 glide crack release.
Confidence
Timing, track, or intensity of incoming weather system is uncertain
