Regions

Rossland, South Okanagan, Shuswap, North Okanagan.

Avalanche hazard is low, and conditions are good for getting out and exploring.

Use normal caution, verify conditions and apply good travel habits.

Confidence

High

  • We are confident due to a stable weather pattern.

Avalanche Summary

If you head to the backcountry, consider sharing your photos and observations with the Mountain Information Network

Snowpack Summary

Isolated flurries have started to bury a layer of surface hoar over a crust that extends to mountain top on all aspects.

Several crust and facet layers are present deeper in the snowpack. These layers are not a concern at this time.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
  • A hard crust on the snow surface will help strengthen the snowpack, but may cause tough travel conditions.
  • The snowpack is generally stable; it may be appropriate to step out into more complex terrain.
  • Carefully evaluate big and steep terrain features before committing to them.
