Travel and Terrain Advice

Continue monitoring the storm instabilities and avoid steep slopes until the storm snow has had a chance to settle and bond. Monday is forecasted to be warmer than the previous days which may cause the storm slab to wake up and become more reactive particularly at lower elevations Manage the loose dry problem by avoiding skiing above terrain traps.

Avalanche Problem

ウインドスラブ Wind slab

Recent poor weather has prevented alpine travel limiting our knowledge of the distribution and reactivity of the wind slab problem.

ストームスラブ Storm slab

Storm slab continues to be reactive to ski cuts on steep slopes. Monitor the bond of the storm snow (~40-60cms) to the previous snow surfaces.

Continued light, dry snow has arrived with very little wind particularly at lower elevations meaning that loose dry avalanches are very likely on steep slopes.

概要

Avalanche


No new avalanches have been reported in the last 48 hours however storm slab has been reactive to ski cuts on steep slopes.

Snowpack


Light but steady snowfall has continuously added to the storm snow total for the past several days. 40-60cms of low density storm snow overlies progressively denser snow down to the Jan. 18 MFcr which is now buried very deep, decomposing and difficult to find in many areas. A notable layer of buried stellars exists in some locations on the interface down 40-60cms however it has been unreactive to skier traffic.

Weather


A light NW flow is expected to continue through the weekend bringing continued light snow and cool temps through to the end of the weekend with heavier snowfall expected sunday night. Skies will be mostly overcast with light WNW winds through the forecast period.
