Avalanche Summary

Recent reports indicate a size 2 skier triggered avalanche off of a windloaded ridgeline feature running on a layer of facetted crystals. A subsequent size 1 avalanche was triggered nearby. This was in the Three Sisters area just north of Fernie.

Snowpack Summary

In protected areas up to 30cm of the most recent low density new snow sits on the surface. This has been shifted onto lee slopes by strong west and southwest winds. New storm slabs, cornices and wind slabs are likely. Mid and lower snowpack layers are generally well settled and stable.
