    Natural and human triggering is unlikely but it is still a good practice to avoid steep, open, rocky slopes with a shallow snowpack.

Weather Forecast

Some flurries and moderate to strong south westerly winds as the temperatures return to more seasonal values. Some forecasts are predicting a pulse of snow early next week.

Snowpack Summary

A supportive mid pack consisting of rounded and facetted layers is bridging the weak depth hoar/facet layers that make up the lower snowpack. Some wind slabs are developing in sheltered alpine locations.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches were observed or reported today. Limited observations.

Confidence

Due to the number of field observations
