Avalanche Summary

A few loose wet avalanche's from steep solar aspects. No new slab avalanche activity.

Snowpack Summary

Well here we go into spring! A widespread crust can be found on all aspects as high as the peaks on all aspects except pure north. The crust was breaking down by 11am on solar aspects on Friday so field teams were happy to be out of the field early before the snowpack went isothermal at lower elevations. Isolated windslabs may be found on pure northern aspects at upper elevations.

A few cornices collapses have been observed over the past few days but these did not trigger slabs on underlying slopes.

Corn snow is out there now you just have to be early to ensure good timing.

Be sure to check the quality of the freeze overnight before you go! Stability will change throughout the day as the conditions warm up.

Weather Summary

Cloudy skies with no new snow. Overnight lows of around -7C and daytime highs of +4C in the valley floor with a freezing level climbing to 2800m. Be sure to assess the quality of the freeze overnight as cloudy conditions can limit the freeze.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be alert to conditions that change with elevation and sun exposure.
  • Avoid steep, sun-exposed slopes when the air temperature is warm or when solar radiation is strong.
  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
