Observations are currently very limited in this region. Please consider submitting a MIN to let us know what you're seeing out there.

Snowpack Summary

Forecast snow and moderate southwest wind will form fresh wind slabs on lee features at treeline and above. The new snow will cover a hard crust that exists on all aspects to at least 2500 m.

Crusts from late March can be found down 20 to 80 cm, depending on elevation/aspect.

The mid and lower snowpack is well settled and strong in most areas.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
  • Avoid freshly wind-loaded features, especially near ridge crests, rollovers, and in steep terrain.
  • Use ridges or ribs to avoid areas of wind-loaded snow.
  • Use extra caution around cornices: they are large, fragile, and can trigger slabs on slopes below.
