Hopefully we'll see a change in the weather pattern in 2018.

An alpine temperature inversion continues to build as warm air over-rides the arctic air now established over the area.Monday: A mix of sun and cloud. Alpine temperature: Low -15 °C, High -6 °C. Light West winds.Tuesday: Cloudy with sunny periods. Alpine temperature: Low -7 °C, High -0 °C. Light-moderate West winds.

8cm of low density snow now buries isolated pockets of wind slab in ALP areas sitting on an old snow interface of facets, sun crust, wind effect, or surface hoar. 3 crusts extend into the lower limits of the alpine and are sitting dormant in the snowpack, the upper crust is providing mid-pack strength over a weaker, rotted crust and facet crystals

No new avalanches have been observed or reported.
