Weather forecasts are showing uncertainty regarding the amount of new snow we may receive, ranging from 15cm to to 45cm over the next 48hrs.

Expect Hwy 93N closures for avalanche control and heightened avalanche danger if the amounts are significant.

    Size and likelihood dependent on precip amounts. Previous surface faceting could make this problem more reactive.

Weather Forecast

Sunday night: Flurries. Accumulation: 11 cm. Low -5 C. Ridge wind south: 15 km/h gusting to 40 km/h.

Monday: Snow. Accumulation: 19 cm. High -2 C. Ridge wind south: 15-35 km/h. Freezing level: 1900 metres.

Tuesday: Flurries. Accumulation: 10 cm. High -4 C. Ridge wind southwest: 15 km/h gusting to 50 km/h. Freezing level: 1600 metres.

Snowpack Summary

Up to 35cm of storm snow could accumulate up to Mon eve. Expect to find new wind slab on lee ridgetop features and below. The new snow will overlie previously wind affected surfaces in non-sheltered areas in the alpine and below as well as widespread surface facets. Strong mid-pack in deeper areas overlies supportive basal layers.

Avalanche Summary

Field team reports no new avalanche activity observed.
