Regions: Glacier.

A skiff of new snow down to highway level will barely cover early season hazards. Expect rugged conditions below treeline (full body armor might be a good idea). Above treeline, enough snow exists to avalanche. See Forecast Details tab.

Weather Forecast

An arctic front will continue to bring flurries, but also cold temps. Expect ~5cm today, with temps continuing to drop throughout the day. Moderate NE winds will transport the new snow onto lees. On Friday expect flurries to taper off, with an alpine high of -14. Over the weekend expect and mix of sun and cloud with alpine highs of -14'C.

Snowpack Summary

Early season snowpack conditions exist. Expect very little in the way of snow below 1600m. 80-120cm at and above treeline. Moderate to strong NE winds will have loaded lee slopes, building deeper (and potentially more reactive) drifts.

Avalanche Summary

We have had several natural avalanches to size 2.5 off of steep terrain off the north face of Mt MacDonald in the highway corridor in the past week. No reported or observed activity in the back country so far.
