Weather Forecast
Expecting Tuesday to grace us with possibly the coldest temperatures of the season so far (forecasted to lows of -35 overnight in the ice fields area)! We should see a warming trend as we move into the weekend and continued sunshine to help soften the bite of the temperatures.
Snowpack Summary
Surface facetting due to extremely cold temps. Hard mid-pack is providing bridging strength over the weak basal facet layer at tree line and above. Recent settlement below tree line has greatly improved travel. Reasonable ski conditions can be found in sheltered features at tree line and below.
