Avalanche Forecast

No recent avalanches have been reported in the region. If you do venture into the snow let us know what you find by submitting a MIN report.

In sheltered areas at higher elevations, pockets of wind-loaded snow sit atop a weak, faceted lower snowpack. Exposed areas have been wind scoured.

At treeline, the height of snow ranges from 40 to 70 cm. As you descend to lower elevations, snow depths decrease significantly.

The snowpack at all elevations is very shallow and contains many potential hazards just beneath the snow surface.

Data is very limited at this time. If you are recreating in the mountains please consider submitting a MIN report.

Wednesday Night

Mainly clear skies with no precipitation, variable alpine winds 5 to 10 km/h, treeline temperature -9 °C.

Thursday

Mix of sun and cloud, no precipitation, south alpine winds 10 km/h, treeline temperature -6 °C.

Friday

Mix of sun and cloud, no precipitation, southwest alpine winds 20 to 40 km/h, treeline temperature -7 °C.

Saturday

Partly cloudy with isolated flurries, trace accumulation, southwest alpine winds 40 to 50 km/h, treeline temperature -8 °C.

• Expect shallow snow cover that barely covers ground roughness.
• Winter conditions may exist in gullies, alpine bowls, and around ridgelines.
• Early season avalanches at any elevation have the potential to be particularly dangerous due to obstacles that are exposed or just below the surface.
