Weather Forecast

Weather forecast for Monday is showing isolated flurries, -13C and ridge winds of 30-40km/h.  The remainder of the week is indicating flurries and cold temperatures.

Avalanche Summary

Several avalanches have occurred during this last storm up to size 3 and are difficult to notice as they have been covered by new snow.  Avalanche control is planned for Mt. Rundle on March 6, 2017.  Expect road closure from 1-5pm.

Snowpack Summary

The storm has ended and dropped up to 60cm of snow in the alpine.  Wind was associated with this storm creating storm slabs at ridge lines and lee features.  Cornices have grown with this last storm and have the potential to wake up deeper layers if they break off.  Sheltered and non-exposed areas are providing good skiing.
