    New snow from last night (10-20cm) came with very little wind. Therefore, wind slabs formed in the last few days have now been buried. These wind slabs ranged between 20 and 50cm thick and are located in isolated lee areas.

Weather Forecast

A stable weather patter with light wind, clearing skies and next to no precipitation will allow for the danger ratings to remain level. The next precipitation is forecasted for early on Wednesday.

Snowpack Summary

10 to 20cm of low density snow has fallen over the forecast region. Little wind accompanied the storm. This new snow has improved ski quality but has buried wind slabs that were formed by strong wind in the last few days. Use caution in areas that have seen previous wind affect.

Avalanche Summary

No avalanches observed or reported today.

Confidence

Wind effect is extremely variable
