Coquihalla

Danger in the region is low, but there may be isolated areas with unstable snow.

No recent avalanches have been reported in the region.

If you are heading into the backcountry please consider posting your observations to the Mountain Information Network. We read every report!

10 to 20 cm of recent snow sits over a thick crust capping a moist upper snowpack.

The snowpack contains a couple of crusts with overlying surface hoar or facet crystals, but these have not produced recent avalanche activity and are not a concern at this time.

The lower snowpack is strong and bonded.
