Winds forecast to be L-M / W on Friday with temperature at TL -5.  A frontal system will bring light snow Sat pm and early Sun am.

Avalanche Summary

One size 2 avalanche was reported Monday. It was skier triggered in a steep rocky feature on an east aspect.

Snowpack Summary

5-15 cm of recent snowfall overlies the Feb 12 SH layer which has crystals to 30mm in some locations. Wind slab is the predominant stability concern right now. It may be resting on suncrust or surface hoar which was buried on Feb 4. The Jan 23 interface appears to be inactive but can still be found  40-60 cm below the surface. It may be worth investigating on an adjacent slope before riding in aggressive terrain.
