Kootenay Boundary

Avalanche activity is unlikely, but crusty or icy conditions may make travel difficult.
Sunny slopes may soften in the daytime, improving riding conditions.

High

• We are confident due to a stable weather pattern.

There are no new avalanche observations.

Avalanche activity is considered unlikely, and the danger is expected to remain low until the weather pattern shifts to bring more precipitation.

A new layer of surface hoar is growing in many parts of the region. It is not currently a concern, but it may become problematic once buried by new snow.

Otherwise, a firm surface crust caps the snowpack, potentially melting slightly in the afternoon on directly sunny slopes.

Several crust and facet layers are present deeper in the snowpack, though none are affecting stability at this time.

• A hard crust on the snow surface will help strengthen the snowpack, but may cause tough travel conditions.
• The snowpack is generally stable; it may be appropriate to step out into more complex terrain.
• Small avalanches can have serious consequences in extreme terrain. Carefully evaluate your line for slabs before you commit to it.
