Lingering wind slabs may remain reactive to human triggers at upper elevations.

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches were reported on Saturday.

NOTE: Observations in this region are currently very limited.

Snowpack Summary

A dusting of snow sits over a crust in most areas, except shady aspects in the high alpine where soft or wind affected dry snow may be found.

A persistent weak layer from early March, 40 to 80 cm deep, most likely exists as surface hoar on sheltered north and east aspects at treeline and above. Its distribution is variable, and there have been no substantial reports of recent avalanches, but it should still be considered when evaluating slopes.

Weather Summary

Sunday Night

Clear skies. 10 to 20 km/h east ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -8 °C. Freezing level valley bottom.

Monday

Sunny. 10 to 20 km/h variable ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 1 °C. Freezing level 1800 m.

Tuesday

Mostly cloudy. 10 to 20 km/h north ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -5 °C. Freezing level 1100 m.

Wednesday

Mix of sun and cloud. 10 to 20 km/h north ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -6 °C. Freezing level 1000 m.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
  • Use caution above cliffs and terrain traps where even small avalanches may have severe consequences.
  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
  • Back off slopes as the surface becomes moist or wet with rising temperatures.

Avalanche Problems

Wind Slabs

Lingering wind slabs may remain reactive to human triggers at upper elevations.

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

Elevations: Alpine.

Likelihood: Unlikely - Possible

Expected Size: 1 - 2

Loose Wet

Strong solar radiation may trigger small wet loose avalanches.

Aspects: East, South East, South, South West, West.

Elevations: Alpine.

Likelihood: Possible

Expected Size: 1 - 1.5
