We haven't received reports of avalanche observations since Monday, when thin wind slabs were triggered by riders.

Please continue to share any observations or photos on the Mountain Information Network.

A dusting of snow overlies a melt-freeze crust up to 2100 m. Wind-affected snow prevails above 2100 m, with thin, old wind slabs in lee terrain features from recent southwest wind.

The mid-pack continues to settle and consolidate. Facets exist near the base of the snowpack.

Thursday Night

Partly cloudy with no precipitation, 20 to 30 km/h southwest wind, treeline temperature -7 °C.

Friday

Mostly clear skies with no precipitation, 20 to 30 km/h southwest wind, treeline temperature -6 °C.

Partly cloudy with increasing clouds and afternoon precipitation, accumulation 1 to 3 cm, 20 to 40 km/h southwest wind, treeline temperature -5 °C.

Early-morning snowfall then clear skies, accumulation 2 to 5 cm, 20 km/h northwest wind, treeline temperature -8 °C.

• When a thick, melt-freeze surface crust is present, avalanche activity is unlikely.
• Small avalanches can have serious consequences in extreme terrain. Carefully evaluate your line for wind slab hazard before you commit to it.
