Regions

Glacier.

Pockets of wind slab are still reactive to human triggering.

Watch out for cross loaded features and avoid areas where the surface snow has been stiffened by the wind.

Confidence

High

  • Confidence is due to a stable weather pattern with little change expected.

Avalanche Summary

There is evidence of reactive wind slabs in exposed areas in the alpine and at treeline. Although the natural avalanche cycle has slowed, human triggered avalanches are still possible. A skier was involved with and avalanche on Avalanche crest on Sunday (see MIN).

There has been additional reporting of skier triggered wind slabs in exposed terrain with most reports featuring a convex terrain feature, a cross loaded gully, or a leeward ridgetop slope.

Weather Summary

No Precipitation in the forecast until Friday but the wind will be light.

Tonight Clear periods. Alpine Low -2°C. Ridge wind SW-25km/h.

Wed A mix of sun and cloud. High -1°C. Wind SW-15km/h. Freezing level (FZL) 1600m

Thurs A mix of sun and cloud. High -0 °C. Wind S-10km/h. FZL 1800m.

Fri Mainly cloudy with isolated flurries. Trace precipitation. High -4. Wind S-10km/h. FZL 1800m.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Pay attention to isolated wind affected features in the alpine, as well as cross-loaded features at treeline.
  • Avoid areas where the snow feels stiff and/or slabby.

Problems

Wind Slabs

Wind Slab avalanches are the release of a cohesive layer of snow (a slab) formed by the wind. Wind typically transports snow from the upwind sides of terrain features and deposits snow on the downwind side. Wind slabs are often smooth and rounded and sometimes sound hollow, and can range from soft to hard. Wind slabs that form over a persistent weak layer (surface hoar, depth hoar, or near-surface facets) may be termed Persistent Slabs or may develop into Persistent Slabs.
