Snowpack Summary

A skiff of new snow sits over variable surfaces including crusts on solar aspects, old faceting wind slabs and well-settled powder.

The upper snowpack contains a couple of thick, hard crusts buried 10-20 cm and 30-70 cm deep. Below, the midpack is well settled.

The average snow depth at treeline varies widely from 50-130 cm, with the deepest snowpack around the Fernie area. Snow depth tapers rapidly below 1500 meters elevation.

Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanche observations.

If you go out in the backcountry, please consider sharing your observations on the Mountain Information Network (MIN).
