Avalanche Summary

We haven't received any reports of recent avalanche activity. Most of the region has very thin snow cover, but the incoming storms will start to bring snowpack depths above the threshold for avalanches. If you venture out into the field, please consider sharing that information on the Mountain Information Network (MIN).

Snowpack Summary

A stormy week will bring much needed snow to the South Coast region. The peaks of the North Shore mountains currently have about 20 cm of snow, while some slightly deeper deposits can likely be found in the highest reaches of the alpine. The little bit of existing snow is cemented in place by a thick crust.
