Regions

Dogtooth, East Purcell.

Watch for unstable snow on isolated terrain features such as immediate lees of ridgetops and steep, rocky solar aspects.

Confidence

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported.

If you are heading into the backcountry, please consider sharing your observations with the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

Around 5 cm of new snow may sit over surface hoar in sheltered areas or a crust on solar aspects. At wind-exposed elevations, it freshens pockets of soft wind slab in lee features.

Below the surface, depending on aspect and elevation, the top 30 cm may contain one or two layers of crust, facet and/or surface hoar formed in late January and early February.

The mid and lower snowpack is generally well settled, with no significant concerns.

Weather Summary

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Carefully evaluate steep lines for wind slabs.
  • Pay attention to isolated wind affected features in the alpine, as well as cross-loaded features at treeline.
  • Be alert to conditions that change with elevation and sun exposure.

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.
