Summary
Weather Forecast
Cloudy with isolated flurries today and moderate west winds at ridge crest. The freezing level will come up to 1300m this afternoon. The sun may make an appearance but should be short lived. The first kiss of solar yesterday and slopes became sensitive quickly. Keep this in mind if the sun should appear this afternoon.
Snowpack Summary
Mod to strong S winds Friday night formed windslab on N'ly aspects. New snow will now veil the wind slab. Expect the wind slab to still be sensitive to human triggering. Storm slabs may be touchy given the right terrain feature. The Feb 10 persistent weak layer is down 60-100cm and may still be overloaded by other slides.
Avalanche Summary
Skier triggered size 1.5 on Little Sifton col yesterday. The skier was involved but uninjured. The slide was 25cm deep, 50m wide and ran 70m. Size 2 natural avalanche off Little Sifton peak and another size 2 natural observed off the E aspect of Abbot's ridge. Numerous size 1.5-2 avalanches in the highway corridor on mainly solar aspects yesterday.
Confidence
Due to the number and quality of field observations
