Avalanche Forecast

Observations have been limited in this region. We expect that natural avalanche activity will occur, especially in alpine areas where snow has been transported into reactive deposits by the wind.

If you are going out in the backcountry, please consider sharing your observations to the Mountain Information Network (MIN).

15 to 30 cm of snow by the end of the day on the 22nd brings our 48 hour storm total to up to 60 cm in alpine areas. Strong southerly winds are expected to form deeper deposits on north-facing slopes.
