Regions

Lizard-Flathead, Akamina, Flathead, Lizard, Moyie, St. Mary, Crowsnest North, Crowsnest South.

Avalanche activity is unlikely, though crusty or icy surfaces may complicate travel.
In the afternoon, sunny slopes could soften and offer better riding conditions.

Confidence

High

  • We are confident due to a stable weather pattern.

Avalanche Summary

There are no new avalanche observations.

Avalanche activity is considered unlikely, and the danger is expected to remain low until the weather pattern shifts to bring more precipitation.

Keep sharing your photos and observations with the Mountain Information Network!

Snowpack Summary

A widespread layer of large surface hoar can be found on the surface or thinly buried by a few centimetres of recent snow. It is not currently a concern, but it is expected to become problematic once it is buried by enough snow.

Below this, a firm surface crust caps the snowpack right to moutaintop, potentially melting slightly in the afternoons on directly sunny slopes.

The mid and lower snowpack is dense and well-settled, with several crust layers present, though none are affecting stability at this time. The average snowpack depth at treeline is 150 to 200 cm.

Weather Summary

Monday Night

Partly cloudy. 30 km/h west ridgetop wind, except Alberta Rockies 60 km/h west. Treeline temperature -9 °C.

Tuesday

Sunny. 25 km/h west ridgetop wind, except Alberta Rockies 45 km/h west. Treeline temperature -7 °C.

Wednesday

Mostly cloudy. 40 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -6 °C.

Thursday

Cloudy. 1 to 5 cm of snow. 50 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -6 °C.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • A hard crust on the snow surface will help strengthen the snowpack, but may cause tough travel conditions.
  • The snowpack is generally stable; it may be appropriate to step out into more complex terrain.
  • Carefully evaluate big and steep terrain features before committing to them.
