South Columbia

Winter conditions now exist in the mountains. Gear up with a transceiver, shovel and probe and factor avalanches into your trip planning. Avalanche forecasts begin November 25.

Insufficient observations exist to reliably rate the avalanche danger. Expect shallow snow cover with thinly buried rocks and trees just beneath the surface. Avalanche danger often concentrates in gullies and other deposition areas, where wind slabs may bond poorly to a weak underlying base. Deeper snow usually exists at higher elevations. For information on local conditions, watch for Mountain Information Network reports in your region. - https://avalanche.ca/mountain-information-network
