You need snow for avalanches...Isolated features at higher elevations may hold enough snow to be above threshold for avalanches but early season hazards are more concerning.

Summary

Confidence

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

No avalanches have been reported in the region yet this season. Please consider filling out a MIN report if you are out in the backcountry.

Snowpack Summary

The snow surface is likely moist at all elevations and on all aspects. As the freezing level falls a new crust will likely form on all aspects and elevations.

Snow coverage in the region is generally thin, patchy and showing lots of ground roughness. Average snowpack depths at treeline range from 20 to 60 cm and taper off rapidly below treeline.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Expect shallow snow cover that barely covers ground roughness.
  • Early season avalanches at any elevation have the potential to be particularly dangerous due to obstacles that are exposed or just below the surface.
