Weather Forecast

Continuing blustery conditions and flurries with a pulse of snow forecast for Tuesday as the winds ease and become northerly. Wednesday looking like a good day to get out and enjoy some 'Pow Pow".

Snowpack Summary

15cm to 20cm of storm snow has fallen onto a generally supportive temperature crust which exists up to 2500m. Good ski conditions were found in the Columbia Icefields area in sheltered locations. Weak basal facets are bridged by a strong mid-pack in most areas at treeline and above.

Avalanche Summary

Limited observations on 93 south today due to poor visibility and blowing snow.

Confidence

Intensity of incoming weather systems is uncertain on Tuesday
