In sintesi

It's cold, but not crazy out there. In fact its pretty good travel with clear skies. Ski quality? Poor. Experience? Well worth it.

Avalanche Summary

Nothing new today.

Snowpack Summary

Where to start? Valley bottom has 50-60cm of weak, loose facets with a thinly buried sun crust from days past. Treeline is a bit more substantial with a supportive snowpack of 80-100cm. The sun crust goes up to 2300-2400m. Windslabs start to appear at upper treeline, which may become more reactive with the chilly temperatures. The majority of our alpine snowpack blew away weeks ago, but we still have windslabs on east aspects, gullies and immediate lee areas.

See attached profile for specific details.

Weather Summary

Overnight low of -20, daytime high of -15. Broken skies, with some sun breaking through from time to time. Might be enough sun to take the edge off the -15. Winds will be basically calm with only slight breezes higher up. You can expect 3 flakes of snow...we've stopped reporting in cm. Individual flakes are more accurate these days. 5-8 flakes are expected later in the week.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.
