Weather Forecast

Clear skies with warm air in the alpine on Saturday. Inversion continuing on Sunday, but not as strong as Saturday. Cloud and southeast wind building Sunday evening. 3-5 cm of new snow by Monday morning with the freezing level at valley bottoms.

Avalanche Summary

Some isolated skier controlled soft wind slabs released from immediate lee features in the north of the region. No new avalanches reported from the south of the region.

Snowpack Summary

The last few days of clear skies, solar radiation, and warm air trapped at higher elevations has settled the recent storm snow. Southerly aspects have seen enough sun and warmth to release loose moist or wet avalanches in steep terrain, and new melt-freeze crusts may have formed overnight when the temperatures dropped below freezing.  Some wind transported snow continues to form thin wind slabs on various aspects.
