Weather Forecast

Weather models tend to agree that we are in for more of the same wet and cool weather for the next several days. Snow will continue to fall in the alpine and whipped around by moderate winds from the west.

Snowpack Summary

Up to 30 cm of new snow in the alpine today is sitting on a supportive melt-freeze crust/mid-pack. Uncertain how well it is bonding to crusts. Deep weak layers dormant when temperatures are below freezing but may be triggered as temperatures rise and increased load.  Snowpack is weak below tree line and isothermal in many locations.

Avalanche Summary

Widespread storm slabs forming in the alpine with this new dump of snow. Numerous loose wet avalanches expected with rain at tree line and below,
