Avalanche Summary

No new avalanche activity has been reported since Thursday.

Snowpack Summary

Westerly winds have heavily impacted the snowpack, scouring windward slopes and forming isolated wind slabs on leeward slopes. Wind slabs could overlie facets. Wind effects are most pronounced in Alberta.

The lower snowpack has no concerning layers.

Treeline snowpack depths range from 50 to 150 cm across the region.
