Weather Forecast

Temperatures are expected to drop significantly over the next few days as an Arctic front slides through the mountains. The lowest values will be reached by Tuesday morning and could be as cold as -30C. This cold snap will be dry, bringing only minimal snowfall (2-5cm) as the temperatures plummet.

Snowpack Summary

A variably supportive crust is present on solar aspects up to 2500m. A supportive mid pack consisting of rounded and facetted layers is bridging the weak depth hoar/facet layers that make up the lower snowpack. 10cm of low density facets and recent snow can be found in sheltered areas at treeline and above and provide pleasant skiing.
