No avalanches have been reported in this region.

Snowpack Summary

We have insufficient data to create a reliable snowpack structure for this region. What little information we have suggests there is significantly less snow than in the N. Columbia region and many areas at treeline elevations and below may still be below threshold for avalanching.
