Weather Synopsis
Today slight instability begins under a NW flow with limited moisture. Watch for clouds to build today with the possibility of a few snow showers. Tommorow the flow flattens and goes zonal with snow beggining in earnest Thursday afternoon & evening. By Friday the already westerly flow gets an added boost of energy from the south while a significant winter storm sets up for the weekend. This one looks promising so far….
In the Backcountry
The snowpack remains suspect while observations of triggered avalanches continue to come in the door. Yesterday a report of an avalanche in Cony’s Bowl remotely triggered from 200 feet away reminds us that instabilities are still present. This slide was 2-4′ deep to the ground and was a path that slid earlier this season! Areas with past avalanche activity this season continue to be the most suspect areas currently. These areas have well developed facets or depth hoar that are buried only by a shallow amount of snow and have remained very reactive this season. As well last weekend’s new snow came in with significant wind and windslabs remain developed on many aspects at all elevations. These slabs may be slowly bonding but can still be triggered by the weight of a human. Yesterday some warm temperatueres and strong solar radiation may of helped southerly aspects heal a bit but instabilities still lurk on many slopes.
Danger Rating and Travel Advisory
 // CONSIDERABLE Near and Above Tree Line on North through SouthEast AspectsMODERATE on all other aspects and elevations |
Primary Avalanche Concern
 |
|
|
|
While Natural Avalanches have not been running Triggered Avalanches remain Possible to even Probable in certain locations. Windslabs from this past weekends storm are still present on many aspects at all elevations. North through East aspects near and above tree line will be the most likely areas to find these windslabs. Expect all aspects to have potentially cross loaded pockets at all elevations especially in wind exposed areas.
Use caution while travelling in the backcountry today! Yesterday’s slide was triggered with no other signs of instability noted. Knowledge of where avalanches occured so far this season is very useful and these areas should be treated seriously while they remain the most suspect. Watch for areas of windloaded snow, where the snow texture stiffens or you experience cracking or collapsing. Use good protocols and travel techniques today as this is what lessens your exposure and risk if the slope you are travelling on does slide.
