Weather Forecast

THURSDAY: A trace of new snow with moderate southwest winds and freezing level to 1000m. FRIDAY: 25-40cm of snow in the alpine, moderate to strong southwest wind, with freezing level up to 1500m. Precipitation will peak with freezing level in the afternoon. SATURDAY: 10-15cm of snow increasing over the day. Moderate southwest winds with freezing level to 1000m

Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanche observations have been reported but fresh storm slams are growing and will be touchy. If you have been out in the mountains, please submit your observations to the Mountain Information Network (MIN).

Snowpack Summary

New snow over Tuesday night and Wednesday have added to storm slabs at higher elevations, which are especially deep and touchy on leeward slopes and in exposed areas. Total snowpack depths are likely around 160cm at treeline and over 2 metres at higher elevations. Aside from instabilities in storm snow, warm temperatures are promoting rapid settlement and strengthening of the snowpack.

Avalanche Problems

Storm Slabs

New snow is increasing the size and likelihood of triggering fresh storm slabs.
The new snow will require several days to settle and stabilize.Be cautious as you transition into wind affected terrain.Be alert to conditions that change with elevation.

Aspects: All aspects.

Elevations: Alpine, Treeline.

Likelihood: Likely

Expected Size: 1 - 2
