Natural and human triggered avalanches are unlikely.

Stepping out into big terrain with good travel habits and group management is appropriate.

Confidence

High

  • The snowpack structure is generally well understood.

Avalanche Summary

On Tuesday and Wednesday, small wet loose avalanches and sluffing were observed on solar aspects.

Snowpack Summary

Up to 5 cm of new snow is expected by Friday morning. This new snow will overlie a crust on all aspects and elevations except high north facing terrain.

In some areas, a crust formed on Christmas Eve can be found 30 to 50 cm below the surface.

The Mid December crust is found down 1 to 2 meters. In general the snowpack is right-side up and well settled.
