Snowpack Summary

Snow is starting to stick in the high-country. There is approximately 80-120cms of settled snow on the ground in the Alpine which tapers drastically to 10-20cms at 1300m. Recent winds have likely created pockets of windslab in Alpine and treeline lee features.

Expect to find hidden rocks and logs underneath the snow. Glaciers will have poor coverage with just enough snow to hide small crevasses.

Weather Summary

A storm this weekend is forecast to bring snow, warm temps and strong winds to Roger's Pass. Depending on how high freezing levels get, we may see rain up to treeline (or higher)!
