Not much change happening right now. Whatever your mode of travel is, expect any off trail travel to be challenging. Sheltered areas near the divide may have more recent snow than road side, but it will take some effort to get there.
Windslabs are common in alpine areas. Watch for this areas around the "lens" of windslabs where it will be more likely to trigger this weakness. Any failure will likely step down and involve the entire winters snowpack.
If triggered the surface wind slabs may step down to this layer and involve the entire winters snowpack.
No new avalanches were observed.
Flurries have helped psychologically, but haven't done much in a practical sense. Very little change to our snowpack. The alpine is dominated by windslabs of varying densities. Crossloaded gullies are of concern as winds have been a huge factor in recent weather patterns. Depths are around the 75cm mark at 2300m with the Oct crust still apparent near the bottom. Valley bottom depths are 43cm, with the deeper crusts still apparent in some areas.
Temperatures will fall ever so slightly tomorrow. It will start around -8 and finish around -10. Southwesterly winds will be mostly light, but expect gusty conditions, with ridge winds being in the 30km/hr range. The flurries will continue, and may add up to a few centimeters by late afternoon.
