In sintesi

Good skiing today.  Wind slabs in the alpine.  We are at a transition where natural avalanches have slowed down, yet human triggered avalanches are still a concern.

Problemi valanghivi

  • Wind Slabs

    • Alta quota
    • Limite del bosco
    • Sotto il limite del bosco

    Present on all aspects
  • Persistent Slabs

    • Alta quota
    • Limite del bosco

    The Jan 6th surface hoar is down 100cm and the Dec 15 is down 120cm.  Any slide on these layers would produce large avalanches.

Weather Forecast

Wednesday is to bring cloudy skies with scattered flurries.  Alpine temperatures will be around -7c with west winds of 30km/h.  The next snow is to begin late Wednesday night and bring around 20cm by the end of Thursday.

Avalanche Summary

One size 2 avalanche was noticed near the summit of Mount Nestor.

Snowpack Summary

The recent HST has settled to 40-50cm.  Wind slabs are present on all aspects in the alpine.  Jan 6 SH was found down 90cm at 2000m with no results; yet it was very reactive one valley over two days ago.  We have low confidence in adventuring into big terrain.
