Avalanche Forecast
Regions: Glacier.
Weather Forecast
30cm of storm snow have fallen at 1900m and depending on forecast another 15cm is expected today. Alpine temperature should rise to -11C with winds in the moderate gusting to strong range. The outlook for Tuesday is another pulse of moisture with 11cm forecast along with warming temperatures and moderate west wind.
Snowpack Summary
30cm+ of storm snow overnight at 1900m with another 15cm on route today. Moderate gusting to strong SW winds will be redistributing the storm snow onto alpine and treeline lee and crossloaded features forming soft slabs. The other key ingredient is the weak facetted old snow surface. This combo should lead to easily triggered surface soft slabs.
Avalanche Summary
We are expecting an avalanche cycle has started overnight and will continue through the day today. Slides will be in the form of both soft slab and loose dry slides when the weak facetted old snow surface gets overloaded.
