Weather Forecast

Cool clear weather all week. Sunny with light east winds and treeline temperatures around -5 C.

Avalanche Summary

Several small skier triggered avalanches were reported in the Sky Pilot area near Squamish over the weekend. Most appeared to be wind slabs on north aspects in the size 1-1.5 range. Wind slabs may linger in exposed alpine features.

Snowpack Summary

Sunday's storm delivered 5-10 cm of heavy snow to the region. A solid surface crust has formed at lower elevations. At higher elevations, small wind slabs may be lingering in the lee of exposed ridges. The mid and lower snowpack are settled and well bonded.
