Keep an eye on conditions that change with elevation and wind exposure. Reactive wind slabs likely exist in wind exposed terrain at treeline and above.
New snow with southwest wind will form reactive storm and wind slabs over Sunday night and Monday morning. The largest and most reactive slabs will be found on north and east aspects. These slabs may be more reactive than usual where they have formed over a crust.
On Friday explosives and ski cutting produced wind slab avalanches up to size 1.5. These avalanches were on northerly aspects at treeline.
warm temperatures and rain on Sunday created moist surfaces at treeline and below. As freezing levels fall a new crust will form above 1400m. New snow and wind will likely form slabs above this crust.
The mid and lower snowpack contains multiple crusts but is generally well settled.
Sunday Night
Mostly cloudy with up to 15cm of new snow expected. Moderate southwest winds and a low of -3 at 1500m.
Monday
A mix of sun and cloud with flurries bringing around 5cm of new snow. Moderate to strong westerly winds and temperatures at 1500m falling to -6.
Tuesday
A mix of sun and cloud with no new snow expected. Light to moderate northwest winds and a high of -7 at 1500m.
Wednesday
Mostly cloudy with light flurries bringing a few centimeters of new snow. Light to moderate southwest winds and a high of -4 at 1500m.
