    New snow overloading an active wind slab, potentially 30-50cm deep. Predominately on exposed alpine and treeline features. Natural and human triggering likely!

Weather Forecast

Out with one storm and in with another. A short reprieve from snow and broken skies for Monday before a second storm comes in by Tuesday afternoon. Expect 10 - 20cm by Monday morning in the icefields area with gusty SW winds at ridge top.

Snowpack Summary

As of 15:00, 10 cm new snow (and still falling) with Moderate to Strong SW winds. You can assume that this system is actively creating new and overloading existing windslabs. While generally a strong, and supportive snowpack this surface instability will linger and deserves your respect.

Avalanche Summary

No new natural activity reported from a field teams on Sunday. Poor visibility made any alpine or treeline observations impossible. Expect increased likelihood of avalanches with the outgoing and incoming storm on Tuesday/Wednesday.

Confidence

Intensity of incoming weather systems is uncertain on Tuesday
