Watch for small pockets of wind slab that could have potentially formed in the alpine from the moderate Northerly winds as the cold front pushes into the region.
Good snow quality found on sheltered polar aspects.
The recent snow has settled into more of a cohesive slab and buries small surface hoar in sheltered areas and sun crust on solar aspects. Though it's unlikely to trigger this layer, keep it in mind if you push into larger/committing terrain features.
Tuesday will be mainly sunny with periods of cloud, have an alpine high of -15 and 15-30 km/hr North East winds as a cold front pushes into our region. Cold and clear for a few days with temps gradually warming and the possibility of snow by the end of the week into the weekend.
A surface crust exists up to ~1500m on all aspects and higher on solar aspects. Soft, dry snow snow can be found in sheltered areas on Northerly terrain features. 40cm of settling snow sits on top of the Feb 26th interface of small surface hoar in sheltered areas and a crust on steep solar aspects.
No new avalanches reported or observed on Sunday.
A size 2.5 natural cornice failure triggered a decent sized slab above the Little Sifton Traverse exit on Saturday.
Several skier accidental avalanches in the size 1.5 range last Thursday and Friday, which likely involved the Feb 26th interface.
