In sintesi

A slight bump in the alpine danger ratings due to the forecasted snow and winds, inspect the presence of wind effect on your chosen line.

Problemi valanghivi

  • Wind Slabs

    Variable wind directions have put these on all aspects. Most open areas look wind effected right now.

  • Persistent Slabs

    This is a two fold problem. In high polar areas the older (and deeper) Feb 14th layer is still present and concerning, while in all other areas we have the evolving Mar 24 crust.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches observed or reported today.

Snowpack Summary

Surface wind slabs vary in density from soft (4 finger) slabs at treeline to denser and thicker slabs in the alpine. These slabs vary in depth from 80cm in the alpine to 40cm at 2100m. There was some isolated cracking within these slabs on the Mar 24th crust. Speaking of the Mar24th, it is everywhere, and thick. Today it was found as high as 2450m (our high point) where it was about 5cm thick and very firm. Lower down at 2100m it was down about 40cm and wasn't bonding especially well to the new snow. This will be the layer to watch as spring moves on.

Weather Summary

Sunday evening, Up to 14 cm overnight with a low of -12°c

Monday: A mix of sun and cloud, A day time high of -13 Ridge winds will be 20-30km/h from the Northwest.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Carefully evaluate steep lines for wind slabs.
  • Be careful as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
  • Be alert to conditions that change with elevation and sun exposure.
