    Skier triggered sluffs may be possible on both sun, and shaded terrain; minimal natural activity is expected. If any, it will be isolated to steep sunny slopes during the afternoons.

Weather Forecast

Clear and cold overnight Saturday, low of -15°C. Sunday, expecting clouds with sunny periods, forecasted high between -4°C and -8°C, with a notable temperature inversion expected. Light, westerly ridge winds. Mountain weather forecast available at Avalanche Canada.

Snowpack Summary

While much of the upper snowpack remains dry and faceted, dramatic seasonal temperature swings have begun a diurnal melt-freeze cycle to surface snow, especially steep southern aspects, BTL; but possible on all solar aspects and elevations. The mid pack remains strong enough to support a rider, but may be weak underfoot.
