In sintesi

Start Early and Finish Early with the warm temperature and 2600m freezing level. The avalanche hazard will start off as Moderate early in the morning and could increase to CONSIDERABLE on solar aspects. Be aware of the terrain above you. Sheltered North aspects have the best odds of finding good, dry snow.

    New windslabs are out there. Watch temperatures tomorrow and try and time your exit to avoid the end of day warmth.

    Repeated warming/cooling cycles are helping stabilize these layers. Continue to watch steep polar aspects where the warming cycles are fewer and less intense.

  • Loose Wet

    Solar "greenhouse" cloud effect or direct sun will quickly trigger loose wet avalanches. Avalanche hazard will increase during the day on solar aspects.

Confidence

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches were observed or reported on Sunday. Expect wet loose avalanches on steep solar aspects on Monday with the warming. Best to start early and be off the slopes by mid-day to early afterrnoon.

Snowpack Summary

Wind slabs can be found in alpine terrain, mostly on Easterly aspects and cross loading in gullies. The treeline zone has mostly been spared of wind slabs but this can change on Monday with the 60-70km/h winds forecast. Expect to find a temprature/sun crust early in the morning on solar aspects, quickly changing to moist snow up to mountain top sometime later in the morning.

Weather Summary

Monday will be quite warm with alpine temparatures forecast to rise to 5c and a freezing level of 2600m. Monday should bring a mix of sun and cloud so expect high solar input, softening the snow on solar aspects in the morning. Winds will start out to be light and then start to increase to strong from the SW around noon.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Start your day early and be out of avalanche terrain during the heat of the day.
  • Be alert to conditions that change with elevation and sun exposure.
  • A moist or wet snow surface, pinwheeling, and natural avalanches are all indicators of a weakening snowpack.
