In sintesi

Watch for rapidly changing conditions in the afternoon sun.

Back off sun exposed slopes as they become moist, natural activity is likely.

    Expect to find deeper and more reactive deposits around ridgelines, these may remain triggerable by riders for several days.

    Loose snow can be found in wind sheltered areas, and may become a hazard in steep terrain features. Manage your sluff, and always have an exit plan.

    Expect loose wet avalanches on sun affected slopes in the afternoon.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches were reported on Saturday.

Last reports are from Friday where explosive control and riders produced avalanches to size 1 within the storm snow.

Reports indicate the storm snow is beginning to settle and bond, however reactivity is expected to remain in specific features.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Give the new snow time to settle and stabilize before pushing into bigger terrain.
  • Use appropriate sluff management techniques.
  • Be careful with wind slabs, especially in steep, unsupported and/or convex terrain features.
  • Brief periods of sun could quickly initiate natural avalanche activity.
