In sintesi

A crust has bound the upper snowpack together however it is making travel conditions challenging.

    In areas where the surface crust isn't present or doesn't support your weight, weak layers deeper in the snowpack could still be human-triggered.

Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanche activity has been reported in this region.

Snowpack Summary

Anywhere from 0 to 20 cm of dry snow sits atop a widespread hard crust. In general, the crust is strong and supportive to travel on.

Below the crust, the upper snowpack continues to refreeze and strengthen.

The mid and lower snowpack consists of various weak layers primarily made up of crust and facet combinations. These layers are currently unlikely to be triggered with the presence of a supportive crust above.

Weather Summary

Tuesday Night

Mostly cloudy with 0 to 4 cm of snow, 10 to 25 km/h south ridgetop winds, treeline temperature -5 °C.

Wednesday

Mostly cloudy with 0 to 5 cm of snow, 10 to 20 km/h south ridgetop winds, treeline temperature -7 °C.

Thursday

Partly cloudy with isolated flurries, 10 to 25 km/h west ridgetop winds, treeline temperature -8 °C.

Friday

A mix of sun and cloud, 10 to 25 km/h northwest ridgetop winds, treeline temperature -10 °C.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Make observations and assess conditions continually as you travel.
  • When a thick, melt-freeze surface crust is present, avalanche activity is unlikely.
  • Avalanche hazard may have improved, but be mindful that deep instabilities are still present.
