Snowpack Summary

Warm air may continue to moisten the snow surface, particularly on southerly aspects when the sun is shining. Use additional caution if you notice signs of snowpack warming.Below this warming effect, the remainder of the snowpack is currently well-settled and strong in most locations.

Avalanche Problems

Loose Wet

Warm air and sun should continue to moisten the snow surface. If clear skies prevail, loose wet avalanches may be most prevalent in steep terrain on southerly aspects.

Avoid travelling near or under cornices, as they will become weak with the warming.Use caution in gullies and above cliffs where small avalanches may have severe consequences.Watch for clues that the snowpack is warming up, like moist snow or sluffing off of cliffs.

Aspects: South East, South, South West.
