Start early and finish early. Solar radiation is expected to be strong on Tuesday with clear skies.
Pay close attention to you route in relation to cornices. Cornice failures are more common on sunny days with strong solar radiation.
Loose wet slides may step down to the March crust triggering a slab on this interface.
Pay close attention to the quality of the freeze overnight as this will play a large role in the timing of this problem.
The overnight low for Monday night is forecast to be -13c with a high of 0c on Tuesday in the alpine. Winds are forecast to be 40km/hr from the North. This means that it will take longer for the crust to break down on Tuesday. On the other hand, the skies are expected to be mostly clear, giving the sun its full heat and radiation potential, especially on solar aspects. Expect solar aspects to start shedding some loose wet avalanches at some point in the afternoon. Cool and cloudy skies for Wednesday and Thursday.
No new avalanches were observed.
Expect a solid freeze of the upper snowpack on solar aspects in the morning with the crust breaking down by early afternoon. This could happen sooner if the overnight temperature is warmer. On North aspects, expect to find a crust up to 2300m, with dry snow above. Basically, the hazard will be low in the morning and will increase on solar aspects with solar radiation.
