Last call for generally stable avalanche conditions! Sunday will be a great day to bag that last big objective before the taps turn back on this week.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported.

If you are getting out in the backcountry, please consider sharing your observations on the Mountain Information Network! You don't have to see an avalanche or dig in the snow to have useful observations - even weather and riding conditions are helpful, especially when you include photos!

Snowpack Summary

5 cm of new snow sits over a variety of surfaces;

  • wind-pressed snow in high elevation lees

  • crust on exposed windward features, south aspects and low elevations

  • soft, faceted snow, possibly topped with small surface hoar crystals in sheltered areas.

The remainder of the snowpack is well consolidated, containing a number of crusts which are not of concern at this time.

Check out these great conditions updates (here and here) from our field team this week!

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • The snowpack is generally stable; it may be appropriate to step out into more complex terrain.
  • Wind slabs are isolated, but may remain reactive.
  • Small avalanches can have serious consequences in extreme terrain. Carefully evaluate your line for slabs before you commit to it.

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.
