Regions: Glacier.

Thin snow coverage is the biggest hazard at the moment; expect to hit rocks, stumps etc. in most areas if attempting to ski/board. If snow cover is sufficient to link turns, avalanches are a possibility. Daily avalanche forecasts begin November 1st.

Weather Forecast

Snowfall and a warmer temps gives way to clearing skies and slightly cooler temps for the weekend.

Snowpack Summary

Below treeline the snow hasn't really started to cover any of the surface roughness. As you transition through treeline and into the alpine 1 meter (and counting) of settled snow has formed the beginning of this seasons snowpack.

Avalanche Summary

Heavy snowfall triggered a cycle of large avalanches yesterday (Oct. 28th). Many of these ran into the rugged ground cover below treeline - a good reminder that even a small avalanche could have severe consequences if it drags you through an alder/ boulder field.

Please report any avalanche activity observations on the Mountain Information Network.
