Avalanche Forecast

No recent avalanche activity has been reported.

If you are headed into the backcountry please consider submitting a MIN report.

Surfaces continue to facet under generally cool and clear weather conditions. A crust is present on most south-facing terrain and lower elevations, while previously wind-affected surfaces can be found in exposed alpine terrain. Small, isolated wind slabs may exist in high alpine terrain, particularly on steep slopes near mountain tops and ridge crests.

The mid and lower snowpack is generally well-settled and bonded with no layers of concern.

Monday Night

Mostly clear sky. 20 to 30 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -5 °C.

Tuesday

Sunny. 10 to 20 km/h northwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -5 °C.

Wednesday

Mostly cloudy. 10 to 20 km/h northwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C.

Thursday

• The snowpack is generally stable; it may be appropriate to step out into more complex terrain.
• A hard crust on the snow surface will help strengthen the snowpack, but may cause tough travel conditions.
• Use caution above cliffs and terrain traps where even small avalanches may have severe consequences.
