Lo esencial

Assess terrain as you gain elevation. Isolated wind slabs may linger in steep terrain features. In our thin early-season snowpack, even small avalanches can be dangerous

    Stubborn wind slabs may still be human-triggered, particularly in isolated areas where they sit directly above a weak, sugary facet layer that can be found near the base of the snowpack.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • If it's deep enough to ride, it's deep enough to slide (avalanche).
  • Be cautious of buried obstacles, especially below treeline.
  • If you are increasing your exposure to avalanche terrain, do it gradually as you gather information.

Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanches have been reported.

Snowpack Summary

Snowpack observations are limited. Total snowpack depths are roughly 60 to 70 cm at treeline, tapering quickly at lower elevations.

Roughly 20 to 30 cm of settled snow overlies a crust formed in early November. Weak, sugary snow can be found near the ground in the east Purcells.

In many areas, especially below treeline, there is not be enough snow to smooth out surface roughness and be above the threshold for avalanches.
