Avalanche Forecast

Mainly sunny today, we might see a few clouds this afternoon. Alpine high of +2, FL will rise to 2500m, winds will be light from the N-NW. Temperatures will rise even higher over the next 2 days as the ridge of high pressure dominates southern BC. The next pulse of precipitation will be on Sat, as a low-pressure system moves in from the SE.

Typical spring melt freeze conditions. This morning we had a minimal recovery with temperatures just below zero at Valley bottom and likely less of a recovery higher with an overnight inversion. There may be some dry snow on North aspects above 2400m. Cornices are large and will weaken with the rising temperatures.

Numerous solar triggered avalanches, mostly in the size 2.5 range with some notables up to 3.5, generally loose wet in character. The notables were Junction East size 3.5, Puff daddy and Camp West size 2.5. Two older notables are Catamount peak size 3 persistent slab and mounds was a glide avalanche and ran size 3.5. Start early, finish early!!!
