Summary
Weather Forecast
Friday mainly sunny with an alpine high of -2 and moderate to strong westerly winds.
Avalanche Canada's Mountain Weather Forecast is a great regional-scale resource for up-to-date weather information. SPOTWX is a good resource for local scale weather forecasts.
Snowpack Summary
Up to 15cm of new snow sits on a thick crust that exists to ridgetop except on high north faces. This tops a well consolidated snowpack with the lower half composed of dense facets and decomposing crusts, none of which have been reactive in snowpack tests or recent avalanches. Large cornices observed overhead where good skiing can be found.
