Weather Forecast
A few flurries as the winds switch to the north and the cold air invades then the deep freeze begins. No change expected until the end of the week.
Snowpack Summary
Southerly slopes in the alpine have been stripped with hard slab on lee features. At treeline, there is a faceted snowpack that is still just supportive but weakening in shallow areas. No shears found in test pits in the Icefields area yesterday.
