Weather Forecast

The next big system moves onto the south coast on Saturday morning, however it is not expected to push very far inland. Expect 10-15 cms of snow combined with strong southwest winds and rising freezing levels. Snow continuing on Sunday with freezing levels rising up to about 1800 metres.

Snowpack Summary

There is a great deal of variability in the region. The Duffey Lake area has received the most snow and rain during the recent storm, and it has also had the highest freezing levels. The Coquihalla has a shallower snowpack with slightly cooler temperatures. Storm slabs of varying depths are developing above a mixture of old surfaces left behind after the recent high pressure.
