Avalanche Forecast

Fair - Due to limited field observations for the entire period

Sunday: A weak ridge of high pressure should bring dry conditions with light north winds and alpine temperatures near -4.Monday: High pressure will continue to influence the region giving mostly sunny conditions, light north winds and alpine temperatures near -6.Tuesday: Dry conditions persist as the ridge of high pressure slowly shifts east. Increasingly overcast skies. Continued light northerly winds. Alpine temperatures near -7.

There are no recent avalanche observations to report at this time.

10-20cm of new low density snow has been lightly redistributed by the wind creating wind slabs in isolated locations and burying a small layer of surface hoar or facets. These are sitting on a generally well-settled mid-pack. Deep persistent instabilities (surface hoar and an early November crust, respectively) located in the middle and near the bottom of the snowpack may still be a concern but there's little recent evidence of them being reactive. It is important to know that we have very limited observations for this region. Digging down and making your own observations, especially in thinner snowpack areas, remains a good idea to assist safe slope selection. If you are spending anytime in the backcountry, send us your observations. Every bit is greatly appreciated! Email us at: forecaster@avalanche.ca
