Points saillants

The season is off to a very slow start and with our first new storm its important to note that conditions are extremely marginal for both ice climbing and skiing.  There is hope for change as temperatures fall and ice freezes in the gulleys.  PJ

    Field teams from Parks observed several loose snow point releases out of steep terrain in the Stanley Headwall area today.  Caution advised on all aspects in the alpine with attention to gulleys and cliffs where a small avalanche could be serious.

Weather Forecast

Snowfall amounts will continue overnight with an additional 5-10 cm of snow throughout the elevation bands. Winds will be moderate from the north and temperatures will steadily drop to below -15.0 overnight.  The long range is for precipitation to cease and for unseasonably cold temperatures following the storm

Snowpack Summary

Snowfall amounts with the recent storm have deposited up to 20cm in the higher elevations at treeline and in the alpine.  Snowpack depths remains below threshold for avalanches at treeline and below but windslabs could be expected in high alpine areas.

Avalanche Summary

Loose snow avalanches were observed in steep terrain.

Confidence

Due to the number and quality of field observations
