7-Day Danger Trend

Moderate. Storm slab all aspects ALP+TL (Possible Unlikely, Size 1-2). Dry Loose all aspects TL+ALP (Likely, Size 1-1.5). (ALP+TL: Moderate / BTL: Low)

Travel Advice

Avoid steep, rocky, and wind-affected areas where triggering slabs is more likely.
Watch for fresh storm slabs building throughout the day.
Loose avalanches may start small, but they can grow and push you into dangerous terrain.

Confidence

We are uncertain about forecast snowfall amounts.

Snowpack

New snow is falling on a thin melt-freeze crust that made for tricky riding. It's expected that 15 to 30 cm will have fallen by the end of the day on Thursday.A thick crust is buried 20 to 30 cm deep. Below it, up to 50 cm of rain-soaked snow sits on another crust (1 to 10 cm thick) from early March.Persistent weak layers may linger within the top 150 cm of the snowpack. These are unlikely to trigger in most areas as a result of the thick crust bridging over them.The mid and lower snowpack is strong in most areas. Snowpack depth tapers rapidly at lower elevations.

Recent Avalanche Activity

It's expected that avalanche activity will increase as the new snow piles up. Firstly, as dry loose avalanches, and then if we see more than 20 cm, storm slabs become possible.
