In the past 24 hours we received 30 cm of snow and strong winds from the south. There were many areas in the alpine where the drifts were over a meter deep. At 2280 meters the temperatures have dropped to -8.7, winds are 50-60 from the south, maximum gust was 85 KPH overnight and Maximum temperature since midnight was -7. At 1550 meters it is -4 with maximum since midnight of -2.3 and we received 10 cm of new snow overnight. . The barometer is on an upward trend. In the valley it is +2 and the freezing level should drop as the day progresses. After avalanche control is finished this morning there should be good skiing in the alpine. With explosive testing mostly size 1 and a few size 2 avalanches have occurred so far this morning. |

If you are heading up to the Duffy there could be up to size 3 avalanches in some of the terrain. With this new snow and a combination of buried surface hoar and facets in the snow pack it is still very reactive. Play hard but be safe!!
