In sintesi

Lots of settlements on the Valentines surface hoar today, and some areas are just reaching threshold amounts over this layer to become active. Most slopes are waiting for someone to trigger them, and this will be the case for quite some time. SH

    Moderate winds in the past few days have also created thin, but stiffer wind slab conditions 25-35 cm deep on ridgetop lee terrain. These have been seen to step down to the surface hoar layer.

    Snow averages over the Valentines surface hoar and suncrust on steep solar aspects range from 20cm, to over 60cm at Sunshine and Yoho. Lake Louise ski hill reported a natural cycle last night out of bounds to sz. 2., caused by a wind event.

    On Observation Peak today, we encountered moderate, sudden collapse shears on basal depth hoar. Steep, thin areas mainly E. of the divide will be prone. Lake Louise reported recent, isolated slides triggered on surface hoar which stepped to ground.
