Avalanche Forecast

Moderate

No new avalanches have been reported. There are very few field observations coming from this forecast area. Remember that a lack of avalanche reports does not necessarily mean a lack of avalanche activity.

If you go out in the backcountry, please consider sharing your observations on the Mountain Information Network (MIN).

A wide spread crust exists on or near the surface. South facing slopes are likely scoured.

The snowpack is generally shallow and facetted (sugary) with multiple crusts in the mid pack. Pockets of deeper, wind-loaded snow may be found near ridges, gully features, and established avalanche paths.

Average snowpack depths at treeline are roughly 20 to 80 cm.

Wednesday Night

Mostly clear with trace amounts of new snow expected, south alpine wind 25 to 40 km/h, treeline temperature -2°C.

Thursday

Partially cloudy with trace amounts of new snow expected, southwest alpine wind 20 to 50 km/h, treeline temperature -3°C.

Friday

A mix of sun and cloud with trace amounts of new snow expected, southwest alpine wind 40 to 70 km/h, treeline temperature -4°C.

Saturday

Mostly cloudy with around 5 cm of new snow expected, northeast alpine wind 15 to 25 km/h, treeline temperature -15°C.

• Winter conditions may exist in gullies, alpine bowls, and around ridgelines.
• If it's deep enough to ride, it's deep enough to slide (avalanche).
