No new avalanche activity has been reported. Small wet loose avalanches occurred from steep terrain over the weekend.

Moving forward avalanche activity is only expected from wind affected features with new snowfall.

Check out this MIN from 5040 for more conditions.

Snowpack Summary

Localised areas may see up to 10 cm of new snow by Wednesday morning, adding to 15 cm of recent settling snow in some areas. This sits over moist to wet snow at higher elevations or a crust below 1100 m.

The mid and lower snowpack is well consolidated and strong.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
  • Make observations and continually assess conditions as you travel.
  • Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
