In sintesi

The avalanche danger remains CONSIDERABLE today on upper elevation steep slopes that face west, north and east. The snowpack is weak enough still that human triggered avalanches are likely in the described terrain. To avoid trouble, keep your slope angles under 30 degrees.

The weak snow near the ground that formed in November is going to remain a serious concern for the near future especially during the next significant storms. As we add more snow on top of the old weak snow near the ground, things will get more dangerous and we'll see larger avalanches. Also, with more snow, it will be easier for people to venture into avalanche terrain. This is when we are likely to see avalanche accidents.

Snow and Weather

Current Conditions: Temperatures are in the upper teens to mid 20s and the wind is light from the west. Snow conditions are excellent for riding although the snowpack is still too shallow for venturing off roads on snowmachines. There is enough snow to travel around easily on skis, snowboards and snowshoes.

Mountain Weather: We have a mild weather disturbance moving through today that will bring a trace to a couple of inches of snow. Temperatures will be in the low to mid 20s and wind will remain fairly light from the west. It looks like we have a couple of nice days ahead of us. The next chance for snow is early next week. Weather models continue to advertise an active weather pattern through next week with more snow on the way.
