Points saillants

We are reluctant to use ratings due to our limited field observations and lack of reliable snowpack information. Having said that, the current avalanche problems deserve attention and caution in certain terrain features. Choose terrain wisely.

    This will be a problem in steep terrain. Early season Ice climbers should watch for sluffing.

    These will be limited to gullies and other terrain features that held wind deposited snow from previous storms. Pole probing will help locate these deeper snow pack areas.

Weather Forecast

Snow is expected to continue. Another 5-10cm is expected in the forecast region by late day Friday. Winds will be light from the N-NW. Temps will drop to -20 on friday, and rise slightly to -15 by saturday.

Snowpack Summary

Prior to this current storm, we had 10-20cm of wind blown snow that began to fill gullies and alpine bowls. This most recent snow now sits on either bare ground, or these previously wind deposited gully and bowl features. Recent winds have been mostly from the north, expect storm slabs on SE to SW aspects. Sheltered areas and confined gullies are capable of loose dry sluffs at the moment.
