The freezing level drops to 700m Tuesday night. Expect Icy conditions below 2200m and use caution in the valley bottom. Many rocks and trees are peppered along the access trails.
Isolated pockets of wind slab may still be lingering in the Alpine from last weeks storm. Keep a lookout for this problem in unsupported Alpine lee slopes.
No new avalanches observed over the last four days.
Late last week, several avalanches up to size 3.0 were observed in the highway corridor and in the Connaught area. Some of these avalanches ran to ground in lower elevation runout zones.
Recent warm temperatures have left a lot of moisture in the upper snowpack. Expect this moist snow to freeze into a crust as the temperature drops on Monday night.
Ski quality will improve above 2200m but be on the lookout for isolated pockets of wind slab in the alpine.
