In sintesi

Sunny and hot conditions will weaken the upper snowpack.

Avoid travelling on or below steep slopes when the snow surface feels wet or slushy.

    Wet loose avalanches are likely in steep or extreme terrain when the snow surface is wet or slushy.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain about how the snowpack will react to the forecast weather.

Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanches have been reported. However, observations are extremely limited at this time of year.

Snowpack Summary

The snow surface will likely become moist or wet on all aspects and elevations as a result of elevated freezing levels Saturday night and further warming during the day on Sunday. Dry snow may be found on high north facing terrain first thing in the morning.

A thick crust can be found down 10 to 30 cm at treeline and above. The snowpack below this crust is well settled and strong.

At low elevations the snowpack is disappearing quickly. Where snow remains it may be isothermal.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Back off slopes as the surface becomes moist or wet with rising temperatures.
  • Keep in mind that the high density of wet avalanches can make them destructive.
  • A moist or wet snow surface, pinwheeling, and natural avalanches are all indicators of a weakening snowpack.
