The alpine rating is below threshold, the treeline rating is below threshold, and the below treeline rating is below threshold. Known problems include Loose Wet.

William Lawson,

We have transitioned to spring conditions due to Daily Melt-Freeze Cycles . Early starts with early finishes are advised.

Summary

Weather Forecast

A good refreeze is forecasted for Sunday night with freezing levels down to valley bottom. Increase cloud cover through the day Monday with freezing levels climbing to 2300m.

Snowpack Summary

A surface crust exist on all aspects below 2300m and high into the alpine on solar aspects. High North aspects are still holding dry powder and some wind effect on exposed lee slopes. Deterioration of these crust have been occurring almost daily, with the extent of the surface moistening depending on solar radiation and freezing levels.

Avalanche Summary

No avalanches observed or reported today.

Problems

Loose Wet

An icon showing Loose Wet

We have some uncertainty with the extent of the wet loose avalanche activity for Monday. The sensitivity of this problem will depend on how good the overnight recovery is, the amount of solar radiation and the cooling effect of the wind.

  • Use extra caution on solar slopes if the snow is moist or wet.
  • Avoid sun exposed slopes when the solar radiation is strong, especially if snow is moist or wet.

Aspects: All aspects.

Elevations: All elevations.
