Slow skiing with the cooler temperatures.  Watch for windslabs on all aspects developing with the incoming north winds.

Weather Forecast

No new snow is forecast for the next few days and conditions are likely to be cold!!!  North winds will cause some reverse loading so be mindful for windslabs on all aspects.

Avalanche Summary

No new activity in the past 24hrs.

Snowpack Summary

5-15cm new snow with the deeper areas being in the eastern region (Hwy 40).  Windslabs being found in Alpine terrain along ridgelines and in cross loaded areas but they do not extend far downslop. At treeline a surface hoar layer is being found widespread up to 2200m down 30cm but a lack of a cohesive slab over this layer is preventing it being a problem...yet.  Facets are building over the november crusts but we are still generally only getting hard to no results on this layer.
