We rode into Tommy 1 today and spotted several loose wet avalanches coming out of steep, rocky terrain above the access road, but not much else for avalanche activity. The freezing level was sitting around ~1800 m, with 15–30 cm of settled storm snow from the past week on a soft crust up to about 2000 m. The crust is patchy and breaking down, and travel conditions overall weren’t too bad. Certainly could benefit from a bit more snow...

Surface hoar is widespread at lower treeline in sheltered areas, and likely still present on north-facing slopes where it avoided wind before getting buried by the storm snow. Fingers crossed freezing levels don’t climb as high as forecast this week 🤞

Extreme alpine terrain where loose wet avalanches came down in the last 72 hours.

The January 26 surface hoar layer down about 30 cm at high treeline (stubborn snowpack test results) and the December 16 persistent weak layer down just over a meter (no result on snowpack tests)
