Regions

South Rockies.

Due to the lack of snowpack and avalanche data, we are currently unable to issue danger ratings for this region. If you're in the mountains, please consider contributing to the Mountain Information Network.

Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanche observations have been reported in the region but there is likely enough snow for avalanches above around 1700m. Wind loaded features are expected to be the primary concern right now but due to the lack of observations, we cannot yet issue avalanche problems or danger ratings. If you are out in the mountains, please consider contributing to the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

Early season snowpack observations are still very limited in the region but the threshold for avalanches is expected to have been exceeded at treeline and in the alpine. Limited reports suggest snow surfaces at higher elevations are wind-affected. This suggests wind slabs should be on your radar as you gain elevation. Kananaskis Country to the north of the region is currently reporting that 30-40cm of snow is now overlying the mid-November crust layer. Conditions are likely similar in the South Rockies.
