OBSERVATION SUMMARY

TREND: IMPROVING / ONGOING / DETERIORATING

RECENT OBSERVATION

Monday

Well folks it's hard and fast out there at the moment. With the cold night temps, the snowpack is very firm till the sun does its magic and softens up the top crust mid morning. There is a 20mm layer of melt / freeze on all aspect and only the solar aspects are worth skiing early in the day. With some snow heading our way it will be interesting to see if this top layer causes any issues if buried. Freeze levels look be falling Tuesday but there doesn't look like there's much moisture with these colder temps. Strong winds are also forecast for this week. The freeze layer falling on Friday looks to have some moisture with it,  fingers crossed we get some snow for the weekend 

Outlook

Possible snow Tuesday and Friday looking forward. Fingers crossed for a fill in for the coming weekend. Get out there and enjoy the great early season snowpack and take advantage of the great conditions.
