Regions

South Rockies, Dogtooth, East Purcell, Bull, Elkford East, Elkford West.

Soft, dry snow and decent riding conditions may still be found on some shady upper-elevation slopes.
Avalanche activity is unlikely, but normal caution is still advised.

Confidence

High

  • We are confident due to a stable weather pattern.

Avalanche Summary

On Jan 22 in the Dogtooth Range, explosives triggered two size 1.5 cornices with very small subsequent wind slabs below.

Avalanche activity is considered unlikely at this time. The danger is expected to remain low until the weather pattern shifts to bring more precipitation.

Snowpack Summary

A surface crust caps the snowpack, except for on upper-elevation shady north through east-facing slopes, where some wind-affected powder may provide decent riding and ski conditions. Small, stubborn wind slabs could also remain in these areas.

On south-facing slopes, the crust may soften and melt for a short time on steep sunny slopes.

Two notable buried layers persist, but are currently not affecting stability:

  • A layer of surface hoar or a sun crust buried 25-60 cm deep.

  • A crust with facets can be found near the base of the snowpack (persisting in shallow areas).

Weather Summary

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Periods of low danger may be a good time to increase your exposure.
  • A hard crust on the snow surface will help strengthen the snowpack, but may cause tough travel conditions.
  • Small avalanches can have serious consequences in extreme terrain. Carefully evaluate your line for slabs before you commit to it.
  • Watch for areas of hard wind slab on alpine features.
