Look to sheltered north aspects for better ski quality.
Weather Forecast
Sunday is expected to be cloudy with light flurries. Snow accumulations could reach 10cm by days end. Temperatures will be a bit cooler with highs near -8 °C at ridge-top, with freezing levels topping out at 1600m. Winds will be from the east at 10km/h. Monday and Tuesday look to be a bit unsettled with cool temperatures and light to moderate westerly winds.
Avalanche Summary
No new avalanches were observed today.
Snowpack Summary
Up to 2cm of new snow fell overnight. This overlies a 2 to 5cm thick crust at all elevations and all aspects, except true north aspects. The snow beneath the curst is moist up to 2200m. The previously formed March 15th crust is buried on average 20cm and is also present on all slopes except high elevation northerly aspects. In the high Alpine forecasters suspect there is a thin wind slab in traditional lee and cross-loaded features due to recent moderate winds at upper elevations.
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.
