Avalanche Forecast

Today we can expect a break in the stormy weather. Temps will cool with freezing level down to 800m today giving us an alpine high of -9 deg. We might see sunny breaks in a mostly cloudy day today, with isolated small scale convective flurries. The next low pressure system and associated cold front arrives at  Tuesday bringing 10-15cms of snow.

Warm temperatures yesterday with rain created a moist snow surface to ~1900m. Overnight cooling has now turned that into a crust. In the alpine and at treeline 10cm of heavy snow fell and strong winds blew from the south creating windslab. Nov 23 Crust is still the prominent crust down 20-30cm. Below that the snowpack is rain soaked and isothermal

In the Connaught creek drainage, skiers reported two natural size 2 wet slabs off of Mt Cheops, stopping halfway down the runout. Two natural size 2.5's were observed from high Alpine start zones yesterday along the highway, likely triggered by recent snowfall and windloading at ridgetop.

Freezing levels are uncertain
