Points saillants

The avalanche season is creeping up on us. A bit of a slow start this year in terms of snow. Be very cautious with early season hazards. Buried obstacles can put an end to a season in a hurry!

The November rain crust is noticeable, and the suspected failure plane for a few scatted avalanches. The crust is down 10-20cms at treeline elevations. All of the snow above the crust is weak and facetted from the cold temperatures. Surface hoar has been noted in most areas.
