In sintesi

Plan to travel early and be off big slopes by early afternoon. 

Problemi valanghivi

    Cool temperatures over the weekend will reduce this problem but caution advised on slopes if hot sunny conditions are experienced.

Weather Forecast

A typical diurnal pattern is expected through the weekend with late afternoon freezing level limited to 2250m. A cooler day expected on Saturday with light winds and a mix of sun and clouds. Similar conditions on Sunday. Should be a beautiful weekend!

Snowpack Summary

A strong melt freeze crust will form Friday night after a very warm day. This crust will bridge a weak and isothermal snowpack on most tree-line and alpine slopes. This crust will break down with increasing temperatures and solar input. A persistent slab, 30 to 70cms thick, will be of greatest concern on Northerly aspects.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches observed at time of bulletin (15:30 hrs) but expecting continued solar and temperature triggered avalanches on all aspects and elevations.
