In sintesi

Generally stable conditions. Watch for localised winds as there is lots of snow available for transport. It won't take much to develop fresh wind slabs.

    Watch for Dry Loose avalanches in steep terrain in the alpine. This will become more of a problem when the winds pick up.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches observed or reported today for this area. But check out the recent avalanches in the Kootenay and Yoho Sub-regions.

Snowpack Summary

15-25 cm recent low density snow, with minimal wind effect, overlays sun-crusts on solar aspects and scoured terrain in alpine. In some areas, the Jan 24 layer (surface hoar/crust) is down 25–35 cm at treeline and below. (Check for this layer before committing to bigger terrain). Below this, the snowpack is generally strong and well settled.

Weather Summary

There will be gradual warming through the weekend as the upper ridge builds over the forecast area. By Sunday evening the ridge breaks down bringing a SW flow. Flurries expected along the Continental Divide starting Sunday night through Monday.
