In sintesi

Small wind slabs may be triggerable on high northerly slopes.
Continue to be cautious around or under big cornices.

    Small new wind slabs may be triggerable on leeward alpine slopes. Check for slabs before committing to steep slopes.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain due to a limited number of field observations.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported in the past week.

There are few observations from this region. If you are getting out, please share observations like weather and riding conditions to the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

A melt-freeze crust is likely present to mountain top. Up to 5 cm of new snow on Saturday night may build fresh wind slabs over this crust in the alpine on lee slopes.

At treeline and below, a prominent crust buried in late January is currently buried 10 to 20 cm.

The mid-December facet/crust layer is buried approximately 80 cm deep.

Weather Summary

Saturday Night

Mostly cloudy. 1 to 5 mm of precipitation as snow or rain at treeline. 70 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C. Freezing level 1800 m dropping to 1000 m.

Sunday

Mix of sun and clouds. 70 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -5 °C.

Monday

Mostly sunny. 60 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -5 °C.

Tuesday

Mostly sunny. 50 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -5 °C.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Carefully evaluate steep lines for wind slabs.
  • Wind slabs are isolated, but may remain reactive.
  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
  • Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
