Avalanche Summary

We haven't received reports of avalanche observations since Monday, when thin wind slabs were triggered by riders.

Please continue to share any observations or photos on the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

A dusting of snow overlies a melt-freeze crust up to 2100 m. Wind-affected snow prevails above 2100 m, with thin, old wind slabs in lee terrain features from recent southwest wind.

The mid-pack continues to settle and consolidate. Facets exist near the base of the snowpack.

Weather Summary

Friday night

Mostly clear skies with no precipitation. Light to moderate southwest winds, more northerly with elevation.

Saturday

Partly cloudy with increasing cloud and flurries beginning in the evening. Moderate to strong southwest winds, increasing over the day. Treeline high temperatures around -5.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Small avalanches can have serious consequences in extreme terrain. Carefully evaluate your line for wind slab hazard before you commit to it.
  • Recent wind has varied in direction so watch for wind slabs on all aspects.
  • When a thick, melt-freeze surface crust is present, avalanche activity is unlikely.
