Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanche activity has been reported.

Snowpack Summary

Information coming from this region has been extremely limited; however, reports suggest there is about 70cm of snow at 1600m in the Duffey Lake area and about 120cm at the same elevation on the Coquihalla. Terrain below treeline is reported to be below threshold for avalanche activity.Modest storm accumulations from early in the week have most likely gained considerable strength.In a neighboring region, a few crusts exist deeper in the snowpack, although observers are not identifying them as layers of concern at this time.
