Some fresh snow has helped improve the ski quality through out the region. Enjoy what should be a sunny, beautifully cold day tomorrow.

The cold air has arrived. -20 and Light winds out of the NW will keep things chilly. Mostly clear sky's expected for Wednesday.

Forecasters noted a Loose dry avalanche cycle up to size 1.5 today. Almost all originating from steep E aspects in the alpine, and not running all that far.

10-15cm of snow fell Monday night. This snow fell with very light winds. This is sitting on top of a variety of wind pressed surfaces and bare rock. Use caution as the ground may be closer then you think in some location!

• Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind affected terrain.
• Be aware of the potential for large avalanches due to the presence of a persistent slab.
• Watch for areas of hard wind slab on alpine features.
• Even a small avalanche can be harmful if it pushes you into an obstacle or a terrain trap.
