Avalanche Activity

Very few danger zones, small persistent weak layer problem

Avalanche danger is LOW in general. The snowpack is relatively stable. Only in very few spot can a slab be triggered by large additional loading, most likely where snow is shallow in transitions from shallow to deep snow in extremely steep north-facing terrain. Avalanches can grow to medium size.

Snowpack Structure

There was 5-10 cm of cold powder depositeed atop a compact old snowpack surface. Near ridges the surface is wind-impacted, but not much snowdrift was generated. Inside the old snowpack are soft layers of faceted crystals, which are currently not a threat.

Weather Synopsis

On Saturday it will be clear and sunny, but cold and stormy. Brisk northerly winds at 50-60 km/hr. At 2000 m: -11 degrees. On Sunday, unimpeded sunshine. Fogbanks will recede in the morning. At 2000 m: -7 degrees.
