Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanches have been reported.

Data in this region is limited. Please consider sharing your observations on the Mountain Information Network (MIN).

Snowpack Summary

Recent snow has been redistributed by strong west winds, creating various wind-affected snow surfaces at higher elevations.

There is a prominent crust down 30-60 cm.

The average snow depth at treeline varies widely from 50-100 cm, with the deepest snowpack around the Fernie area. Snow depth tapers rapidly below treeline.
