In sintesi

In general there is not enough snow for ski travel at this time however avalanche hazard does exist in isolated locations at higher elevations. At tree line and below tree line snow depths are still below the threshold for avalanche activity.

    In many areas the snowpack is still below threshold for avalanches however confined terrain such as steep gullies and couloirs may have enough snow to avalanche and present the greatest hazard at this time.

Weather Forecast

A mix of sun and clouds with occasional light flurries is forecast for the next several days.  Generally light winds with temperatures ranging from -2'C to -12'C.

Snowpack Summary

Up to 60cm of snow is present in high alpine areas with about 30-40cm at tree line near the divide. The facetting process is well under way at the base of the snowpack. Very little wind affect observed today.

Avalanche Summary

A minor cycle of loose snow avalanches up to size 2 occurred in the last 48hrs with the passage of the recent storm. These were limited to steep gullies and couloirs. No new avalanches observed today.
