Avalanche Forecast

Fair - Wind speed or direction are uncertain on Saturday

Saturday: Light precipitation in the early part of the day with partially sunny breaks in the afternoon. Winds will be moderate to strong from the west and northwest. Alpine temperatures will be near -6.Sunday: A weak ridge of high pressure should bring dry conditions with moderate northwesterly winds and alpine temperatures near -4.Monday: High pressure will continue to influence the region giving mostly sunny conditions, light northerly winds and alpine temperatures near -7. 

There are no recent avalanche observations to report at this time.

5-15cm of new low density snow been lightly redistributed by the wind creating wind slabs in isolated locations and burying a thin layer of surface hoar or facets. These are sitting on a generally well-settled mid-pack. Deep persistent instabilities (surface hoar and an early November crust, respectively) located in the middle and near the bottom of the snowpack may still be a concern but there's little recent evidence of them being reactive. It is important to know that we have very limited observations for this region. Digging down and making your own observations, especially in thinner snowpack areas, remains a good idea to assist safe slope selection. If you are spending anytime in the backcountry, send us your observations. Every bit is greatly appreciated! Email us at: forecaster@avalanche.ca
