No new avalanches have been observed.

Snowpack Summary

We have had about 7cm of new snow in the past 24 hours which will be sitting on top of a hard wind slab. This is probably not quite enough snow to improve the skiing yet. This new snow is not enough to change the hazard rating but expect some spindrift on steeper rock faces, especially if the winds blow as predicted. Maybe snow this weekend???

Terrain and Travel

  • Watch for areas of hard wind slab on alpine features.
