The winter permit system is not yet in effect. Click here for more information.Expect a treacherous ski ascent/descent below treeline if you're going try and get to the alpine. Early season hazards could ruin your winter if you're not careful.

Weather Forecast

The outlook is for this arctic high pressure ridge to persist over the region until Tuesday of next week. Clear skies, cold temperatures and that cold north wind are what's in store until then.

Snowpack Summary

Observations are limited. People have been out in the Connaught drainage and are reporting decent skiing in the alpine. The November 9 rain crust is down 40-50cm at 1900m. Moderate north winds over the last few days may have contributed to some wind slab development at higher elevations. Snow below treeline is still very thin.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanche activity
