South Okanagan, Shuswap, North Okanagan.
Periods of low danger can be a great time to tackle steeper terrain and more committing objectives.
Continue to use normal caution and good travel habits in avalanche terrain.
No new avalanches have been reported in the region since early January.
With the current weather forecast and snowpack conditions, both natural and human-triggered avalanches are unlikely.
If you venture into the backcountry, please consider submitting your observations to the MIN.
Ridgelines and open alpine terrain are generally wind-affected. A supportive crust is present on most south-facing slopes and at lower elevations, while small surface hoar has developed in sheltered areas. In some places the surface hoar is now covered by pockets of wind transported snow.
Soft snow and decent riding conditions are still being reported on shady, sheltered slopes at upper elevations.
The mid and lower snowpack are generally strong and well-settled. Treeline snowpack depths average 100-150 cm.
