Avalanche Forecast

High

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

No recent avalanche activity has been reported. The snowpack has experienced several consecutive days and nights of warm temperatures, allowing it to adjust and stabilize.

Moist snow is possible at all elevations due to elevated freezing levels and limited overnight refreezing. A strong melt-freeze crust is likely isolated to higher elevations in open, non-forested terrain; however, this crust will weaken with daytime warming and solar radiation.

The mid and lower snowpack is generally moist, uniform, and well bonded, with average depths of 100 to 150 cm at treeline.

• Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
• A moist or wet snow surface, pinwheeling, and natural avalanches are all indicators of a weakening snowpack.
