Regions

Lizard.

8AM UPDATE: Assess conditions and look for signs of instability.

Be prepared to dial back your terrain choices as storm slabs increase in size and likelihood.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain about forecast precipitation amounts.
  • We are confident the likelihood of avalanches will increase with the forecast weather.

Avalanche Summary

There have been no new avalanches reported in over a week.

Snowpack Summary

The snow surface is variable. On sheltered features 5 to 15 cm of recent snow sits over a surface hoar crust combo. In sun exposed terrain a sun crust is likely, on high north facing terrain pockets of wind deposited snow exist.

The mid and lower snowpack is well settled.

Weather Summary

Thursday Night
Cloudy. 5 cm of snow. 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.

Friday
Cloudy. 3 to 10 cm of snow. 50 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C.

Saturday
Mostly cloudy. 3 to 4 cm of snow. 40 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C.

Sunday
Mix of sun and clouds. 3 to 5 cm of snow at treeline with rain below treeline. 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 0 °C. Freezing level 2000 m.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Watch for fresh storm slabs building throughout the day.
  • Make observations and continually assess conditions as you travel.
  • Closely monitor how the new snow is bonding to the old surface.
  • Loose avalanches may start small, but they can grow and push you into dangerous terrain.

Problems

Storm Slabs

Storm Slab avalanches are the release of a cohesive layer (a slab) of new snow that breaks within new snow or on the old snow surface. Storm-slabs typically last between a few hours and few days (following snowfall). Storm-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.
