Summary
Early Season Comment
Snow is staring to accumulate in the Alpine areas and the potential for avalanches is slowly building. Pay close attention to snow in gullies, along ridgelines and in areas where it has a hard "drummy" feel. Any avalanche even a small one will lead to a short and painful ride that will not likely be that pleasant. Â
Early Season Message
Insufficient observations exist to reliably rate the avalanche danger. Expect shallow snow cover with thinly buried rocks and trees just beneath the surface. Avalanche danger often concentrates in gullies and other deposition areas, where wind slabs may bond poorly to a weak underlying base. Deeper snow usually exists at higher elevations. For information on local conditions, watch for Mountain Information Network reports in your region. - https://www.avalanche.ca/mountain-information-network
