Cloudy conditions with dribs and drabs of snow will keep the hazard consistent for the next few days. Use lots of field observations to help collect relevant information on local snowpacks.

Nothing was seen today, however travel was limited.

Today saw some light snow, but not as much as we were hoping for. Recent storm amounts are in the 30-50cm range, with more in the southern part of the forecast area. Windslabs are prominent from 2300m and up. As surface snow distribution shifts from wind loading, the Nov crust is getting deeper on eastern aspects.

Saturday will be cloudy with warming temperatures. Morning low of -10, afternoon high of -7. Only a few flurries are expected with little accumulation. Ridge winds will be westerly and range from 20-30km/hr.
