Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported.

If you go out in the mountains, please consider sharing any observations on the Mountain Information Network (MIN).

Snowpack Summary

Up to 30 cm of low density surface snow has seen some redistribution by moderate east to southwest winds.

A substantial crust up to 30 cm thick sits 40 to 90 cm deep, well-bonded to surrounding snow. The mid and lower snowpack is generally well consolidated, with several well-bonded crusts scattered throughout.

Treeline snow depths range from roughly 150 to 220 cm around the Coquihalla and 100 to 150 cm around Manning Park.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
  • Seek out sheltered terrain where new snow hasn't been affected by wind.
