Regions

Glacier.

The hazard will build through out the day Saturday.

Plan to scale back your exposure as the new snow piles up.

Confidence

Moderate

  • Forecast snowfall amounts are uncertain.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches were observed on Friday.

On Wednesday and Thursday, a temperature inversion and solar inputs above valley cloud, triggered loose wet avalanches in steep South facing terrain up to size 1.

Snowpack Summary

New snow is burying a layer of surface hoar size 3-8 mm (most prevalent just below treeline on shaded slopes) and a thin sun crust on steep solar slopes at upper elevations (formed by a temperature inversion).

~100cms of settled snow overlies the Dec 15th crust, which exists below 2200m. The mid and lower snowpack are well settled and right side up.

Weather Summary

An incoming storm will bring up to 40 cm of snow by the end of day on Sunday.

Tonight Flurries(5cm). Alpine Low: -6°C. Freezing level (FZL) 1200m. Ridgetop wind light South.

Sat Snow (15-20cm). Alpine High -1°C. FZL 1800m. Strong gusty SW wind.

Sun Snow (15-20cm). Alpine Low -6 °C, High -3 °C. FZL 1500m. Light gusting strong SW wind.

Mon Scattered flurries (4cm). Alpine Low -12 °C, High -8 °C. FZL 1100m. Moderate SW wind.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avoid freshly wind-loaded terrain features.
  • Avoid terrain traps such as gullies and cliffs where the consequence of any avalanche could be serious.

Problems

Storm Slabs

Storm Slab avalanches are the release of a cohesive layer (a slab) of new snow that breaks within new snow or on the old snow surface. Storm-slabs typically last between a few hours and few days (following snowfall). Storm-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.
