    This layer isn't expected to get any better any time soon. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, this layer needs to be carefully assessed at TL elevations. Make sure the layer is a known factor before committing to a piece of terrain.

Confidence

Fair - Intensity of incoming weather systems is uncertain

Weather Forecast

A cold front is approaching from the NW. Winds are expected to decrease in speed and change to a more NW-N direction. 7cm of snow is forecasted, but amounts could vary. Temps are going to fall to more seasonable values.

Avalanche Summary

Nothing to mention here.

Snowpack Summary

The snow continues to be blown away. At this point most alpine ridges are blown clean with lee areas blown in with windslabs of varying density (elevation dependant). In sheltered areas (TL & below) the HS is shrinking and is still on the weak side. HS@burstall pass 75 and HS @ Burstall parking is 58.
