    Sunshine Village reporting a touchy storm slab that is easily triggered and has wide propagation. Some slabs have stepped down to the October rain crust layer producing avalanches up to Class 3. See avalanche reports.

Weather Forecast

High pressure dominates the region. Mixed sun and cloud with no snow in the forecast. Another cool day for Thursday and then a warming trend for the weekend.

Snowpack Summary

Thirty to 50 cm of low density storm snow received throughout the area in past six days. Sunshine reporting lots of reactive wind and storm slabs while north of Lake Louise wind effect not as wide-spread. The mid pack is slowly gaining a bit of strength. The Oct rain crust persists at ground level in some alpine terrain.

Avalanche Summary

From Lake Louise to Bow Summit there was evidence of a cycle up to Class 2 occurring during the storm, however surprisingly little recent natural activity. Explosive work at Sunshine produced many avalanches on N-NE aspects up to Class 3. There was wide propagation with some avalanches stepping down to the Oct crust.
