Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches were observed or recorded over the past 24 hours. However, a few skier-triggered wind slabs were reported yesterday on Emerald Peak.

Snowpack Summary

3-5cm of new snow over the last 24 hours at treeline.

The wind effect exists in the high alpine, but many sheltered areas have soft snow. The mid-pack is generally strong; however, a facet layer can be found near the ground in shallow snowpack areas. At treeline, average snowpack depth ranges from 110 to 160 cm.

Weather Summary

30-40kmh NW winds, no snow and -12 to -16C at treeline on Friday.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind-affected terrain.

Avalanche Problems

Wind Slabs

We have seen a few small windslabs triggered in steep alpine terrain, but many areas exist where this is not a problem. If you are venturing into steep alpine terrain and the surface is wind affected, be careful as this might be enough of a problem to ruin your day.

Aspects: North, North East, East, South East, South.
