Points saillants

10 cm of recent snow may have improved riding conditions and built small isolated wind slabs on lee slopes near ridgetops.

Check for slabs before committing to steep slopes.

    10 cm of recent snow combined with southwesterly winds may have built small wind slabs on lee slopes near ridetops.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are confident due to a stable weather pattern.
  • We are uncertain due to a limited number of field observations.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported, and given the current conditions, human-triggered avalanches remain unlikely.

There have been very limited observations from this area. If you’re heading out, please consider sharing details about the weather and riding conditions through the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

10 cm of recent snow may be covering a melt-freeze crust of variable thickness that is present to mountain top. At upper elevations, small wind slabs may remain triggerable in isolated leeward areas.

At lower elevations and on sunny slopes, the snow surface is likely hard and crusty. These areas may melt and soften in the afternoon sun, improving riding conditions a little.

The mid-December facet/crust layer is buried approximately 80 cm deep and is considered unlikely to trigger at this time.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Pay attention to isolated wind affected features in the alpine, as well as cross-loaded features at treeline.
  • Carefully evaluate big and steep terrain features before committing to them.
  • Periods of low danger may be a good time to increase your exposure.
  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
