In sintesi

Decent skiing can be found in sheltered locations.  Due to the variability in the snowpack, we are still treating larger alpine features with caution.  SH

Problemi valanghivi

  • Storm Slabs

    • Alta quota
    • Limite del bosco
    • Sotto il limite del bosco
    Probabilità
    Possible
    Dimensione
    1–2
    These are confined to the immediate lees of ridgetops and will be fairly thin. 

  • Deep Persistent Slabs

    • Alta quota
    • Limite del bosco
    • Sotto il limite del bosco
    Probabilità
    Unlikely - Possible
    Dimensione
    2–3
    Watch for thin snowpack areas in steeper terrain where triggering the basal depth hoar/crust is possible.

Weather Forecast

Light to mod. N winds in the alpine for Saturday with lows around -25C and highs in the -15C range.  No snow in the forecast except for a trace on Sunday.

Snowpack Summary

5-15cm of snow has buried the Jan 30th surface hoar / sun crust layer. This new snow came in with very little wind, but there have been some soft storm slabs building in the immediate lees of S through SE ridgetops.  The basal facets remain weak, but the overall snowpack is gaining strength.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches observed in the past several days.

Confidence
