There's enough snow for some transceiver practice on Mt Seymour. Go get after it! Conditions for snow sliding sports look pretty terrifying.

Avalanche Summary

No avalanches have been reported in the region yet this season.

Snowpack Summary

Firm melt-freeze crust likely now glazes the early season snowpack at all but the highest, shadiest north aspects in the region. What snowpack exists is settled, but is lacking its usual strength from being thick and connected across the terrain.

Snow coverage in the region is generally thin, patchy and showing lots of ground roughness. Many smooth alpine and treeline features now hold enough snow to produce avalanches with the next storm. Elsewhere, coverage is below this threshold.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Expect shallow snow cover that barely covers ground roughness.
  • Avalanche danger is often elevated in alpine gullies where snow has accumulated.
  • Early season avalanches at any elevation have the potential to be particularly dangerous due to obstacles that are exposed or just below the surface.
