Avalanche Summary

A large glide slab released naturally on Monday. These natural hazards should be given a wide berth.

Wet and dry loose avalanches continue to be triggered by skiers in the region. These avalanches have occurred in steep terrain on a variety of aspects and elevations.

Snowpack Summary

During the day on Friday the snow surface will become moist on all aspects and elevations except for high north facing terrain, where up to 15 cm overlies a crust from late March. Below these crusts, the upper snowpack is moist.

The mid and lower snowpack is generally well settled.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Recent wind has varied in direction, so watch for wind slabs on all aspects.
  • Be aware of the potential for loose avalanches in steep terrain where snow hasn't formed a slab.
  • Avoid sun-exposed slopes, especially if the snow surface is moist or wet.
  • Avoid travelling on slopes below cornices.
  • Make observations and continually assess conditions as you travel.

Avalanche Problems

Storm Slabs

Storm slabs will be most reactive on sun exposed slopes.

Aspects: All aspects.

Elevations: Alpine, Treeline.

Likelihood: Possible - Likely

Expected Size: 1 - 1.5

Loose Wet

Wet loose avalanches are possible on sun exposed slopes and at lower elevations.

Dry loose avalanches are possible where new snow hasn’t formed a slab or become moist.

Aspects: All aspects.

Elevations: All elevations.

Likelihood: Likely

Expected Size: 1 - 1.5
