Daily avalanche forecasts are due to start on Tuesday December 1st. If you're heading into the mountains before then, check out this article on assessing early season conditions.
Be sure to check recent wind strength and direction to help recognize how this problem is developing after publication of this bulletin.
Avalanche Canada's Mountain Weather Forecast is a great regional-scale resource for up-to-date weather information. Here you'll find snow amounts, freezing levels and other aspects of weather important to assessing winter conditions in the mountains.
SPOTWX is a good resource for local scale weather forecasts.
10-15 cm new snow fell Tuesday night. Fresh snow sits over a 20-40cm soft Wind Slab in areas with enough snow to try skiing. Many alpine start zones were scoured to ground by the strong SW winds that followed our previous storm. Protected leeward slopes have drifts up to 1.5m deep. We suspect a thick melt freeze crust exist near ground above 2000m.
Extremely limited observations.
