Still good skiing out there right now. The cold is helping to keep the snow light and dry. Not quite cold enough, for long enough to change the windslabs. Watch for those at the treeline/alpine transition.
Watch for wind slabs on all aspects due to variable winds. These slabs are sitting on either a crust or a hard wind layer, and may be sensitive to human triggering in steep and unsupported terrain. Generally found above 2400m, but be alert for isolated wind slabs at lower elevations.
Thursday will hopefully be the start of a welcome warming trend. Overnight lows will be around -20, but the daytime high will be -10. We expect some flurries tomorrow, but no accumulation. Winds will continue to be light to moderate, and mostly out of the north west.
Nothing new was seen today.
Last week's storm snow continues to settle despite the cold temperatures. As expected, there is some surface faceting as well. The Feb 19th interface is improving, but still suspect. Especially on southern exposures where the crust is more prominent. And of course those windslabs are still out there in the alpine on all aspects.
