Glades this morning. The storm snow from last week (20-30cm on
average in this area) was getting zapped hard by the sun today and at
2600m was getting weak by 10:30AM. Some dry snow sluffing off of
steep, North facing terrain in the alpine and I would expect some
isolated windslabs over the previous hard melt/freeze surfaces to
still be triggerable in those areas. Low of -4C and highs of 2C
before noon.
We should see more of a melt/freeze cycle over the few couple of days
which should settle out a lot of the surface slabs, at least until the
day warms up.
Cheers
