Avalanche Summary

We haven't received any recent reports of avalanche activity. Avalanche activity is unlikely until there is a major shift in the weather.

Snowpack Summary

Riders report highly variable travel conditions from soft to wind-affected to crusty.

Around 10 to 20 cm of snow accumulated on the weekend, which was redistributed in wind-exposed terrain, forming firm surfaces. Soft snow may be found in wind-sheltered treeline terrain. A hard melt-freeze crust is found around 10 to 40 cm deep, which may not exist above 1500 m around White Pass and 1200 m in the Wheaton Valley.
