Brandywine, Garibaldi, Spearhead, Tantalus, Sky Pilot.
A hard crust makes for generally safe avalanche conditions but difficult travel.
Watch for pockets of unstable snow in steep terrain.
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!
A dusting of snow overlies a crust capping a moist upper snowpack on all but north-facing terrain above 2000 m, where dry settled snow can be found.
A significant crust/facet layer is buried 100 to 250 cm deep. This layer was the culprit in many very large avalanches over a week ago, but is not a concern under the current cool conditions.
Below the crust, the snowpack is well settled.
