Avalanche Forecast

Moderate - Freezing levels are uncertain on Monday

A few more cm of snow may fall overnight and then the flurries are forecast to end.  Forecasts are calling for cool temps overngiht so we can expect there to be a good freeze overngiht.  If there isnt a good freeze, danger levels may be higher than forecast on so pay attention to the quality of the freeze.  monday may also see some sunny breaks so pay close attention to solar aspects if the sun comes out.  These areas will quickly loose stability once the sun hits these slopes.

A few loose dry avalanches from the alpine in steep unskiable terrain up to sz 2.

10-15cm of snow over the past 24hr from convective flurries.  On solar aspects there are a few different crusts in the upper snowpack down 10-30cm as a result of the warm temperatures.  These crusts can be found up to 2700m on solar aspects and 2100m and below on all aspects.  On more northern aspects the recent snow has seen some isolated wind affect along ridgelines in the alpine but generally, the winds have been light.  Watch for isoalted windslabs along ridgelines.  Deep down the basal facets are still lurking producing moderate sudden collapse sheers.  Despite it starting to look like spring, the snowpack in the alpine is still very much winter like.  Remember any slope that hasnt released still has the potential to run on these basal facets resulting in a large avalanche.
