South Coast

Pay attention to the wind direction as there is plenty of snow to build wind slabs in the coming days.

Reports on Saturday indicate avalanche activity was limited to a few wind slabs to size 1.5 at treeline and some loose dry avalanches from steep terrain to size 1.

Please continue to post your reports and photos to the Mountain Information Network.

10-20 cm of new snow from Saturday is likely to be found in wind sheltered terrain features. This sits over 50 cm of settling snow at higher elevations and sits on a hard crust at lower elevations 800m and below.

Last week's rain saturated the snowpack and created a well settled and strong lower snowpack.
