Monday's storm may bring up to 30 cm of new snow. If this plays out, expect dangerous avalanche conditions.
Take a conservative approach and be on the lookout for signs of instability.
New snow and strong northeast wind on Monday will form fresh, reactive wind slabs. These wind slabs are expected to bond poorly to the crust below and will be reactive to ride-triggering.
There have been no recent avalanches observed or reported.
We expect avalanche danger to increase on Monday with the arrival of new snow and wind. This new snow is expected to bond poorly to the surface below, creating dangerous avalanche conditions.
If you head out, let us know what you are seeing by submitting a MIN report!
New snow begins to accumulate on Sunday evening, with up to 30 cm of accumulation by Tuesday morning. This new snow is sitting on a crust, and in wind-sheltered areas, surface hoar may be found on the crust.
The mid and lower snowpack is generally strong.
In the alpine, the height of snow varies from 200 to 300 cm.
