Regions

Glacier.

Dribs and drabs of new snow are falling on widespread surface hoar. There's not enough for big avalanches but sluffs could be running fast!

Conditions are changing. If snowfall amounts are greater than forecast or wind is building a slab be prepared to back off your line!

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain about forecast snowfall amounts.
  • We are uncertain due to how buried persistent weak layers will react with the forecast weather.

Weather Summary

The drought is ending (sort of), with 15cms of snow in the forecast for the later half of the week.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Make observations and continually assess conditions as you travel.
  • Use appropriate sluff management techniques.

Problems

Loose Dry

Loose Dry avalanches are the release of dry unconsolidated snow and typically occur within layers of soft snow near the surface of the snowpack. These avalanches start at a point and entrain snow as they move downhill, forming a fan-shaped avalanche. Other names for loose-dry avalanches include point-release avalanches or sluffs.
