Avalanche Forecast
Regions: Glacier.
Weather Forecast
Cooling trend with light winds, alpine temps to -8C and cloudy with sunny periods. Tomorrow expect light flurries, light winds and continued cooling air temps.
Snowpack Summary
Last week's storm produced 50cm of storm snow which is now settling into a surface slab. The bond of this layer will be improving but it should not be discounted in travel plans. Wind slabs should be expected on lee features after mod-strong S-SW winds last two nights. Jan 4th interface down 60-100cm may be touchy in areas where it has not failed.
Avalanche Summary
Half a dozen size slides in the size 1.5-2.5 size yesterday in the highway corridor likely triggered by moderate to strong winds. Overall natural activity has subsided since the avalanche cycle Thursday.
Confidence
Due to the number of field observations
