Points saillants

The best skiing can be found at below treeline elevations. Caution is still needed in shallow snowpack areas in the alpine where it is still possible to trigger the weak basal facet layer.

    This layer is well bridged by a strong mid and upper snowpack but could still be triggered from shallow or rocky terrain.

Weather Forecast

Remaining cold with the chance of a light flurry tonight and then clear again tomorrow. Warming trend this week with a forecast of snow at the weekend ;)

Snowpack Summary

Super hard mid-pack is providing bridging strength over the weak basal facet layer at tree line and above. Recent settlement below tree line has greatly improved travel. Reasonable ski conditions can be found in sheltered features at tree line and below.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches observed today.
