Avalanche Summary

Some loose dry avalanches were noticed in the Bow Corridor.

Snowpack Summary

We have early season conditions with variable snow distribution. At valley bottom along the Spray road, we have about 40cm of snow and in the alpine we have about 65cm of snow. Good old Wind has moved the white stuff around, so expect deeper areas in lee features and around gullies. Wind slabs are present in some open areas. Ice climbers should be aware of loose dry snow above them.

Weather Summary

Tuesday will start off cold and warm up to -9c with mostly sunny skies. Winds expected to be moderate from the SW. Clear and warmer for Wednesday and Thursday.

Approach lee and cross-loaded slopes with caution.
