We don't have any treeline or alpine observations at this point but consider these elevations to be in full winter condition. Be cautious around gullies and lee loaded slopes which may have isolated wind slabs from previous E and N winds. SH

Summary

Weather Forecast

Well thats a change of weather from the warmth last week! Continued overnight valley bottom lows to -15C over the next few days with a mixed bag of some flurries and sunny periods and N to E winds.

Snowpack Summary

An average of 30-50cm at treeline and well over 1m in many alpine locations from reports. At Bow summit today below treeline there was a notable crust 3-4cm thick and 20cm above the ground from warm weather just before Halloween. This could be a notable layer in the future. We have no alpine observations at this time.
