Generally safe avalanche conditions. Watch out for unstable snow on isolated terrain features.
Weather Forecast
Expect a mix of sun and cloud and possible flurries in the afternoon on Tuesday with temperature inversions dissipating and freezing levels dropping to 1800 m. Slightly more cloud is expected for Wednesday with sunny breaks, light snow possible, and freezing levels around 1600 m. Thursday is looking mainly cloudy with light snow, but little wind.
Avalanche Summary
No new avalanches have been reported.
Snowpack Summary
A variable snow surface generally includes light amounts of wind-distributed fresh snow on a supportive crust with surface hoar or surface facets, all breaking down to corn snow on south aspects in the afternoon. But in general the snowpack is strong.
Problems
Wind Slabs
Wind Slab avalanches are the release of a cohesive layer of snow (a slab) formed by the wind. Wind typically transports snow from the upwind sides of terrain features and deposits snow on the downwind side. Wind slabs are often smooth and rounded and sometimes sound hollow, and can range from soft to hard. Wind slabs that form over a persistent weak layer (surface hoar, depth hoar, or near-surface facets) may be termed Persistent Slabs or may develop into Persistent Slabs.
