Kootenay Boundary

Watch for changing conditions and signs of instability as you travel.

No recent avalanches have been reported.

5 to 15 cm of dry snow may be found on north-facing slopes, otherwise, the upper snowpack consists of various melt-freeze layers.

The facet/crust layer that caused large avalanches in March is buried 100 to 180 cm deep and is unlikely to trigger under the current conditions.

• As surface loses cohesion due to melting, loose wet avalanches become common in steeper terrain.
• Be careful with wind slabs, especially in steep, unsupported and/or convex terrain features.
