Coquihalla

Stick to conservative terrain on Sunday. New snow is building fresh storm slabs which may be triggered by riders.

We are still awaiting reports from the storm. We suspect the likelihood of natural and human triggered storm slab avalanches to continue into Sunday.

If you are going out in the backcountry, please consider sharing your observations on the Mountain Information Network (MIN).

Storm totals of 20 to 50 cm are expected by the end of the day Sunday. The new snow is expected to bond well.

The mid and lower snowpack is generally well-settled and bonded.

Snow depths at treeline vary across the region. Around 90 cm is reported in the Coquihalla and 50 cm near Manning Park.
