Points saillants

Observations throughout the region have been very limited. Gather information as you travel and don't assume storm slabs have a solid bond until you've tested it yourself.

Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanches have been reported in the region. Please post your observations to the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

A wide ranging 15-45 cm of new snow fell over the region at the end of the past week. Below 1400 metres, this new snow is likely forming a good bond to moist snow sitting above a strong and well settled snowpack. Much thicker and potentially more reactive storm slabs are likely to be found at higher elevations. The mid and lower snowpack are well settled and strong throughout the region.
