Danger is expected to increase with forecast snow and wind. As always, and especially when forecast confidence is low, it's important to supplement this forecast with your own observations. Please post your obs to the MIN.
Weather Forecast
On Thursday, expect 2-5cm of snow accompanied by moderate to strong southerly winds and freezing levels at valley bottoms.

Snowfall and winds should ease off with a clearing and cooling trend for Saturday.
Avalanche Summary
No avalanches have been reported in this region.
Snowpack Summary
We have insufficient data to create a reliable snowpack structure for this region. What little information we have suggests there is significantly less snow than in the N. Columbia region and many areas at treeline elevations and below may still be below threshold snowpack depths for avalanches to be a hazard.
