Avalanche Forecast

Moderate - Forecast precipitation (either snow or rain) amounts are uncertain.

Cooler temps for the next few days with light flurries and total accumulations of up to 5cm over the next 24hrs. Winds will be into the light to moderate range out of the SW so watch for new windslabs building in alpine areas if snowfall amounts are higher than forecast. 

No new avalanche activity over the past 24hrs. 

Colder temperatures remained all day on Friday and as a result, the snowpack that was moist was frozen in throughout the day again. 4-7cm of new snow is expected over the next 24hrs with light to moderate winds out of the SW. This snow will likely poorly bond to the underlying crust in most places so watch for loose dry events if amounts are more than expected. On northern aspects, the snowpack is generally well settled with some isolated windslabs in alpine terrain. Watch to see what the winds do with the new forecasted amounts. 

• Avoid sun exposed slopes when the solar radiation is strong, especially if snow is moist or wet
• Small avalanches can have serious consequences in extreme terrain. Carefully evaluate your line for wind slab hazard before you commit to it.
• Keep in mind the crust offers an excellent bed surface for avalanches.
