Seek out sheltered powder for better, safer riding.

Consider submitting a MIN report if you are out in the mountains.

We have not had any reports of avalanche activity since the 27th of Nov.

Please consider sharing any observations you have on the Mountain Information Network.

New snow may bury surface hoar crystals, potentially creating an avalanche problem. However, rain before snow likely mitigates this danger.

Expect the old snow to be affected by the wind in open areas and generally well settled.

The bottom of the snowpack contains several crusts that have not been a concern.

Around 100 cm of snow can be found at treeline. This diminishes rapidly below about 1500 m, where a surface crust is present.

• Make observations and continually assess conditions as you travel.
• Carefully evaluate steep lines for wind slabs.
• Use caution above cliffs and terrain traps where even small avalanches may have severe consequences.
