Avalanche Forecast

No recent avalanche activity has been reported.

If you do head into the backcountry consider submitting a MIN post.

Up to 10 cm flurries Saturday morning continued into Sunday evening.

In exposed terrain at higher elevations, variable wind-affected surfaces are present. In contrast, soft, low-density snow persists in wind-sheltered areas, due to ongoing cold temperatures.

The upper snowpack is largely faceted, with a chance of preserved surface hoar layers in terrain sheltered from both wind and sun, particularly at treeline and below. While various sun crusts may exist on south-facing slopes.

The mid and lower snowpack is strong and bonded.

Sunday Night

Cloudy with isolated flurries, up to 5 cm of snow. 10 to 20 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -8 °C.

Monday

Flurries tapering overnight, up to 5 cm snow.10 to 20 km/h northwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -8 °C.

Tuesday

Sun and cloud. 10 to 20 km/h northwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -8 °C.

• Seek out sheltered terrain where new snow hasn't been affected by wind.
• Back off if you encounter whumpfing, hollow sounds, or shooting cracks.
• Be aware of the potential for loose avalanches in steep terrain where snow hasn't formed a slab.
