Ride/hike to the conditions, backcountry travel is currently difficult.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported.

Snowpack Summary

A dusting of new snow covers a robust crust that exists up to mountain tops.

Where snow still exists below treeline, it is isothermal or refrozen, and travel is very challenging.

Weather Summary

Friday Night

Mostly cloudy. No new snow expected. Light northwest ridgetop wind. Treeline high around -2 °C. Freezing level around 600 m.

Saturday

Cloudy. 2-5 cm of snow expected above 750 m. Light northwest ridgetop wind shifting to southwest. Treeline temperature around -2 °C.

Sunday

Cloudy. 20-40 cm of snow expected above 750 m, with the higher amounts being closer to the coast. Moderate to strong southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature around -2 °C.

Monday

Mostly sunny. 5-10 cm of snow above 750 m overnight. Light northwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature around -3 °C.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Expect shallow snow cover that barely covers ground roughness.
  • When a thick, melt-freeze surface crust is present, avalanche activity is unlikely.
