Insert witty and informative comment here... I got nothing. Stay safe out there friends!
Weather Forecast
Temp inversion pushing out of the area as the next system pushes in from the west. Tuesday we will have overcast skies with wind before we get any precipitation, which will come in late in the day and into Wed. Not expecting too much snow, likely around 5 to 8cms as the week progresses. I'm hoping I'm wrong on snow amounts but, sadly probably not!
Snowpack Summary
Frigid overnight temperatures and day-time warming continue to settle the snowpack. Surface hoar (20mm) and surface facetting at and below treeline and a thin sun crust on solar aspects at treeline and above.
Avalanche Summary

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.
