Avalanche Forecast
Regions: Glacier.
Weather Forecast
A mix of sun and cloud today with Southerly winds to 25km/h and freezing level clocking in as high as 2400m depending on the chosen forecast. Wednesday a warm Pacific frontal system should reach us bringing upwards of 35cm by storm's end Friday. Elevated freezing levels around 1800m. Winds will be light gusting to strong from the SW.
Snowpack Summary
Last week's storm snow is settling, however weak layers have still been observed 25cm and 60cm down. A surface crust has formed on steeper solar aspects and likely all areas below 1400m. Freezing levels rise to 2400m today along with potential for strong solar input. Cornices could fail from warming today and loose moist avalanches are likely.
Avalanche Summary
Only one small avalanche observed on the solar aspect of Mt Tupper yesterday. We should see steep solar aspects wake up today with moist surface avalanche activity from daytime warming and solar input.
Confidence
Freezing levels are uncertain
