Regions

Vancouver Island, East Island, North Island, South Island, West Island.

Avalanche conditions are generally safe.

Despite warm temperatures, dry snow, decent riding, and good access have been found in the mountains! It's a great time to get out and explore.

Confidence

High

  • We have a good understanding of the snowpack structure and confidence in the weather forecast

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported in the past week.

Despite the low avalanche danger, stay diligent in assessing conditions that change with elevation and aspect.

Snowpack Summary

Most surfaces will continue to settle and melt with warm temperatures. Clear skies overnight could create a crust on the surface in some areas.

Coverage has greatly improved, with over 100 cm of snow in the past two weeks now settling into a solid base.

The snowpack depth at treeline is roughly 150 cm.
