Avalanche Forecast

No new avalanche activity has been reported in the past few days.

At upper elevations, the wind has varied in direction recently so expect wind slabs and wind-affected snow on all aspects. Up to 5 cm of snow may be covering a layer of surface hoar or a crust.

A widespread crust, combined with a thin layer of weak facets in some areas, can be found buried 30 to 50 cm deep. This crust is only a concern in wind-loaded areas where a consolidated slab may be overlying it. Otherwise, the mid and lower snowpack contains no other layers of concern.

Tuesday Night

Mostly clear skies. 10 km/h southerly ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -5 °C, potential for inversion with colder temperatures below treeline.

Wednesday

Sunny. 10 km/h southeast ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -5 °C.

Thursday

Mostly sunny. 10 to 20 km/h southeast ridgetop wind. Freezing level rising to 1100 m.

Friday

Sunny. 5 to 15 km/h westerly ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.

• The best and safest riding will be on slopes that have soft snow without any slab properties.
• Recent wind has varied in direction, so watch for wind slabs on all aspects.
