Regions

Glacier.

Recent convective flurries brought new snow to some areas of the Park.

Decent snow quality can be found on polar aspects. Manage your sluff in steep terrain.

Confidence

High

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches were observed on Sunday.

On Saturday, a few small size 1.0 dry-loose avalanches were observed in the park running from steep, rocky terrain features.

Snowpack Summary

5-15cm of recent snow covers widespread crusts on solar aspects and patchy surface hoar in sheltered areas.

The snowpack is generally strong and settled, however, the basal weakness of rounding facets/decomposing crust near the ground will remain a concern until the end of the season.

Weather Summary

A mix of sun and cloud for Monday with isolated convective flurries throughout the day. Temps will range from -6 to -12 with a freezing level up to 1500m. Winds will be 10-20km/hr from the NE.

Clear skies and light winds for Tuesday - Thursday.

Problems

Loose Dry

Loose Dry avalanches are the release of dry unconsolidated snow and typically occur within layers of soft snow near the surface of the snowpack. These avalanches start at a point and entrain snow as they move downhill, forming a fan-shaped avalanche. Other names for loose-dry avalanches include point-release avalanches or sluffs.
