Weather Forecast

Light snow overnight Saturday through Sunday with daytime temperature staying below freezing in the townsite. Winds will remain light from the NE

Snowpack Summary

Warm temperatures and rain have started a melt freeze cycle in the eastern slope of Waterton. Snow has been disappearing fast at lower elevations and south facing aspects, but wind loaded gulleys and north facing slope in the alpine are still holding snow.

Avalanche Summary

Small loose wet avalanches off steep terrain as the sun comes out and temperatures rise throughout the day.

Confidence

Due to the number and quality of field observations
