Regions

Glacier.

The freezing level drops to 700m Tuesday night. Expect Icy conditions below 2200m and use caution in the valley bottom. Many rocks and trees are peppered along the access trails.

Confidence

Low

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches observed over the last four days.

Late last week, several avalanches up to size 3.0 were observed in the highway corridor and in the Connaught area. Some of these avalanches ran to ground in lower elevation runout zones.

Snowpack Summary

Recent warm temperatures have left a lot of moisture in the upper snowpack. Expect this moist snow to freeze into a crust as the temperature drops on Monday night.

Ski quality will improve above 2200m but be on the lookout for isolated pockets of wind slab in the alpine.

Weather Summary

Freezing levels will drop tonight with a clearing trend beginning Wed.

Tonight Cloudy with clear periods and isolated flurries. Trace precipitation. Alpine low -6 °C. Wind NW10 km/h. Freezing level (FZL) 700m

Weds Cloudy with sunny periods. Alpine High -1°C. FZL 1400m. Wind SE 10km/hr. No precip

Thurs Cloudy with sunny periods. FZL 1800m. SW 15 No precip

Fri Mainly cloudy, isolated flurries. Trace precipitation

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Carefully evaluate steep lines for wind slabs.

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.
