Mustang Machine Accident

Published: Apr 19th, 2026

Powder up the Perry

Published: Apr 17th, 2026

As of Friday, around 20cm of settled dry snow on top of a crust could be found on northerly aspects above 1800 m. It was not reacting as a slab in the areas we skied but we had limited obs. No recent activity or signs of instability were observed. Cornices are large and looming.

Clear skies and crusty snow at Boulder

Published: Apr 8th, 2026

We went for a rip up Boulder today. We saw a lot of alpine terrain from a distance and didn't see any signs of recent avalanches, other than old, small wet loose debris on steep solar aspects. There's a thick, supportive surface crust on all aspects to mountain tops where we travelled. Triggering avalanches is very unlikely when a supportive surface crust is present. The likelihood increases if daytime warming melts the crust. We call this spring diurnal conditions. It was a beauty day for cruising around in the high country.

It’s deep

Published: Mar 11th, 2026

Ect no result. Some surface hoar preserved on January crust down 200cm. New snow stacking up, 40cm fresh on early March crust. Probed 450cm total depth.

Stubborn but scary

Published: Mar 11th, 2026

Sled skiing at the gorge- road is still in but very whooped. We put skis on at 15km, at 1400m there is a 5cm supportive crust from the warming event under 10cm of light fluffy snow. This crust disappears around 1800m with up to 50cm of recent storm snow that is stiff open areas from recent strong winds. Skiing was excellent above the crust elevation and pretty good dust on crust below that. It was snowing heavily in the afternoon with about 5cm on the sleds. We dug a pit at 2050m on a north aspect in one of the bigger treeline bowl features. We found multiple weak layers in the upper 120cm of snow, including 10mm surface hoar down 115 cm! Despite getting non propagating results on these layers with such a complex upper snowpack, we opted to ski a more mellow line. It feels like triggering persistent layers is pretty unlikely below treeline with the new crust, but as soon as that crust is absent, it’s still a pretty scary snowpack. It’s not go time up high, and it might be getting tough to stay diligent, but triggering large avalanches is definitely possible. Especially with weak layers above, step down avalanches could trigger these deeper layers. Enjoy the fresh pow, but stay safe out there!

Blind Eagle

Published: Mar 10th, 2026

Rode Eagle Pass today. Mix of sun and cloud in the morning and then snow squalls through the afternoon made for poor visibility. Below 2000 m 10-20 cm of light new snow is sitting on a supportive crust. We saw numerous old avalanches from the weekend up to size 2.5. Most these were on steep north facing terrain around 2100 to 2200 m. We suspect they had run on the mid-February surface hoar layer as the fractures were60-80 cm deep.

Hot pow… variable fresh snow on all aspects.

Published: Mar 4th, 2026

Fresh snow is already hot pow at near 2000m. Signs of pin-wheeling everywhere. North facing aspects were abit better but still hot power/coastal champagne. Around 1400 new snow was coming down at hail. Signs of one avi from yesterday that seems to have pulled out on different layers depending on where you looked.

Frisby Avalanche

Published: Feb 28th, 2026

Observed. Sledders trigger avi.

Published: Feb 28th, 2026

Suspected size 2. Crown 4-5 feet. -Sledder siding hilling above cliffs triggered a slide in the centre of the cliff band. -One person went for a ride over the cliff and pulled air bag -the rest of the group was at the bottom of the slope filming and was partially taken out by the slide, ended up loosing camera gear etc and had to uncover multiple sleds. -suspected injuries but no additional help was needed.

Deep on Frisby

Published: Feb 27th, 2026

Rode up on Frisby today to second cabin. Amazing riding if you could see 5 ft in front you. There was 50-60 cm of accumulated blower snow from the past 2-3 days. The wind was blowing steady moderate from the south and southwest through the day. Although we didn't get there, we imagine that there would be significant wind loading in alpine and tree line lee terrain.

Lunch at 15K

Published: Feb 22nd, 2026

CTM6 with solid stability. Skied to the lunch bench for some solid, but surprisingly heavier turns. Whoops are huge and good luck anyone going further 2-up.

Cornice fall

Published: Feb 22nd, 2026

A chunk of cornice roughly 10 meters across fell onto a north facing slope early Sunday morning during heavy wind out of the north. Loose dry avalanche 20 meters wide ran 150 meters on 40° slope.

Frisbee wind slabs

Published: Feb 15th, 2026

17 k Gorge, Estimate size 2, Ski cut trigger

Published: Feb 15th, 2026

30 to 50 cm of new snow on top of January crust fallen in the past week. Dense cold snow above 1600m. Start point convex roll

Gorge Storm Skiing

Published: Feb 14th, 2026

Storm skiing the gorge. No whumpfing breaking trail. Small cracks forming on the storm slab but only propagating less than a meter. Great conditions

Eagle eye 🦅

Published: Feb 12th, 2026

Riding at Eagle Pass was awesome with 30cm of recent storm snow and blue skies. Lots of groups out enjoying the fresh snow, and we saw no natural or rider-triggered avalanches. We dug in the snow in a few places to investigate the weak layers in the upper snowpack, and got variable test results, which speaks to the unpredictable nature of persistent slab avalanches. We saw the most reactivity in a test profile at 1800m on a sheltered north aspect, with a propagation saw test failing at 30/100 down 60cm on large surface hoar on a crust. In our investigation we feel that the most likely place to trigger a large persistent slab avalanche is in sheltered, north facing terrain at treeline and below. Especially places where there wasn’t a lot of traffic before the weak layer was buried.

The burn at Eagles Pass

Published: Feb 8th, 2026

Holy smokes what a day to be on a snowbike! 30+cms of fresh snow last night made for a great day. Rider (myself) triggered a small, no consequence slide. Storm slab with roughly 30cm crown. Other rider had a large whumpf and crack appear while parked on a gentle slope in the trees.

Bradley Delauw

Published: Feb 7th, 2026

N/E Aspect at TL just over ridgetop. Persistent slab. Varying crown depth from 20cm to a meter from windloading/scouring. Unsure if snowmobile triggered or not. (unwitnessed) Few members of our group also had heard the whumpfing/drum sounds while in the area

Gorge 15km

Published: Feb 1st, 2026

Some convex slopes slid with skier intention, and 50m away a similar convex feature would not break/slide. Storm slab conditions on top of late Jan crust about 30-40cm depth

Marie-Eve G

Published: Jan 31st, 2026

The day was super foggy. I could fool you with that sunny picture we got excited and it only lasted 3 minutes. We had to bail on our objective because of the visibility and Avy conditions. There were signs of slab along the trail. Patience game, we dug to that layer, there is 55cm of new snow on top, not bonding well. Snow is dense. 390 cm total. We did not feel the crust while sledding.

Grey bird low, blue bird high

Published: Jan 22nd, 2026

Rode Frisby ridge today to the far end. The avalanche conditions reflect low danger. We did notice the widespread surface crust is starting to break down and soften above 2000 m, making for some OK riding where there are no old tracks. Thinking ahead, there is large surface hoar sitting on the snow surface at all elevations. This is something to keep in mind when the snow does start to fall and bury this layer. It will likely be the next concern.

Deep Powder, Safe Travel at Frisby Ridge

Gorge Luking

Published: Jan 4th, 2026

Hand shear, resistant plainer down 30 on surface hoar. natural avalanche in the trees in steep unsupported terrain yesterday by the looks of it. cut a few small slabs on steep terrain in the trees. snow got heavy below 1600m. decent skiing higher up.

The Gorge

Popping at the gorge

Published: Dec 27th, 2025

Multiple slabs on south facing. Safety navigated but lots of activity.

She's Touchy Out There

Published: Dec 18th, 2025

The last two days have been pretty unreal, The snow pit today was pretty spooky, the column failed in 2 spots down to 70-80cm with only 4 taps from the wrist. Pit showed signs of propagation within the two layers, especially on the rain crust layer which is buried down to approximately 60cm. Conservative terrain choices is where it's at right now in my opinion. Stay safe out there

Frisby Fog

Published: Dec 15th, 2025

We attempted to travel and check out the snow conditions on Frisby Ridge. We experienced rain up to about 1700 m, and light ice pellets above to the ridgeline. It was intensely foggy, limiting any observations and meant we couldn't travel far off the main track. We dug a quick pit at 2100 m and found 20 cm of moist snow above an increasing resistant snowpack. A quick compression test found no significant results.

The Gorge

Published: Dec 27th, 2024

Skied 20cms, with more throughout the day, of new snow on north facing slopes in the trees. Snow was light and made for great skiing. No signs of instability. The road up was not plowed.

Butter

Published: Dec 5th, 2024

Ridge top was wind effected, hard, and had enough shallow hazards to want to avoid. Once back into the burn the snow was consistent and buttery.

George

Published: Nov 23rd, 2024

Lots of snow overnight at the gorge. The road was very difficult and slick. It was quite busy (including some industrial traffic, sleds, trucks, jeeps, skis and quads) and it seems like a few people got stuck (we should have listened to K3's very wise and appreciated advice to bring snow chains... but we also enjoyed digging) Snow coverage is starting to get better at 15km. There are still lots of hazard, holes, and open creeks, but already way better than yesterday. I'm guessing 20cm to 25cm of fresh low density/low cohesion snow since yesterday. We saw a few cookies / small soft slab releases within the storm, and some wider ones in steeper open terrain. The day was mostly overcast and foggy, with some clearing and a small bit of sun in the afternoon.

Gorge 15km

Published: Nov 22nd, 2024

Took an early season cruise up 15km at the Gorge. The road both up and down was an easy drive with 4x4 and good tires. Around 60-70 cm of snow at pull out elevation, that was dense and moist but rapidly improved by 1700m. Travel below the first significant bench requires lots of meandering to avoid holes and open creeks. Lots of evidence of large tree bombs and resulting small soft slabs whilst ascending at lower elevations. We stuck to open lines on our descent as there are still A LOT of smaller trees poking out. A very surface wind effect at higher elevations but otherwise excellent snow quality. Lower elevations require more cautious skiing due to a ton of hazards that require more coverage.

Goods still to be found

Published: May 17th, 2024

Tons of the white stuff came down over the past 36 hours. ~30cms and a nice -4 at 7am this morning with intermittent snow periods throughout the day. Peak temp right around 0, but precip didn’t switch to rain at any point (above 1700m). Majority of snow that came down during the day was sz 1-2 graupel. Winds blowing W/NW up to 15kn overnight. Ridgetops are wind affected, westerly slopes are wind pressed while easterlies are loaded. Prominent slabby characteristics on E slopes by 4 pm this afternoon, but couldn’t get much to move (didn’t try that hard…). All in all if ya like cream cheese and a good time, there’s plenty of sledding and skiing to be had up here at the moment. Road up is seeing some erosion, take it easy. Spoke with a crew who dropped cars below 26 where main erosion is, and sledded up the rest of the way.

Deep into Frisby

Published: Feb 29th, 2024

We had decent visibility so made it a fair ways on the ridge. With 50-70 cm of new snow from the past few days and a buried persistent weak layer we just stuck to sheltered meadows and lower angle terrain. That was plenty to keep us entertained as the riding was superb in deep powder.

Too deeeep

Published: Feb 28th, 2024

It’s been too long, we almost forgot what winter feels like. We laughed, we cried, we got real stuck. Lost count of face shots, counted zero slab avalanches and one tiny loose dry natural. But tbh we didn’t visit much avalanche terrain besides a few micro steeps we tried to cut with no results. It was windy and white enough on the top of the ridge that by the time you were done digging your buddy’s sled out of the invisible whale that ate him, yours had blown in.

Pressure cracks and slabs observed on Boulder in trees

Published: Feb 24th, 2024

Observed small slabs and pressure cracks at 5200 feet to below 6000 feet. Observations were taken storm slab is very small and conditions were not dangerous today but the snowpack is becoming very unstable with all the new snow accumulating over 24 to 72 hours riders should be mindful where they ride over the next coming few days.

Valentines slab

Published: Feb 14th, 2024

Cornice avalanche

Published: Jan 18th, 2024

We dropped in a bowl, there was a tiny cornice, it did let go and propagated more than expected. The snow was definitely affected by the wind, there was a crust with new snow on it. Just a reminder with strong winds we had and recent snow to watch for cornices formation and slab. We are familiar with the terrain and were expecting it to happen in the higher bowl.

North Facing aspects letting go

Published: Jan 6th, 2024

We seen several features letting go above riders, and with the poor visibility some of them we unaware of the dangers above them.

Touchy Soft slabs

Published: Jan 6th, 2024

A learning day with large amounts of snowfall overnight and throughout the day. Saw naturals up to size 1. We hiked up from km15. At the summit we saw a large crown at least 40cm deep on a NW aspect that ran about 10m that had been skier triggered already by a group of three by the time we reached the ridge. Skiing was great but there were shooting cracks and soft slabs that were running fast and could gain some momentum if steep enough. Our group triggered a size 1 with 1 involved with no injuries or lost gear. The everything was releasing from the lower side of trees.

Laps at the gorge

Published: Dec 31st, 2023

Went for a ski at the Gorge from km 17. It snowed most of the day in varying intensities, ~10cm accumulation throughput the day at higher elevations with limited vis. Rain/sleet on the lower half of the sled out. The skiing was great above 1800m but became quite heavy below. Overall the snowpack felt supportive, but above 1800m we had lots of sluffing of the top 10-15cm which gathered a fair bit of mass. Seemed to be running on a smooth softish crust layer which we could feel underfoot. By the end of the day this layer was beginning to form a slab but wasn’t fully consolidated. HS 155cm and the air temp -1 at 1800m.

Wind

Published: Dec 23rd, 2023

ski cut a size one wind slab at the top of Dirt Chute. ridge top is very wind affected. the trees are alright. surface hoar found to ridge top.

Swimming at the gorge

Published: Dec 20th, 2023

Sledded up the road to km 17 to go for a short ski to check out conditions. Rained from the moment we started to the moment we got back. Would’ve been drier in a pool. Was 1 degree at km 3 and -1 at 1540m around 12pm but still raining. Access road was in decent shape due to good throttle control from previous sleds minimizing “whoops”.

Feathers under crust

Published: Dec 13th, 2023

Riding conditions were much easier than last week, but it was more tracked out. Good to see people getting out:) The rain crust is now under about 40 cm of soft snow, so riding was great wherever you could find a patch without a track in it. We stayed in mellow terrain today, as we were mostly spending our time digging for information about the early December surface hoar layer. See snowpack comments.

Not so happy valley

Published: Dec 7th, 2023

We sledded into gorge 15km, climbed to happy valley on an un-breakable crust. Dug a pit at 2000m, north aspect, 37 degree slope. Total depth 125cm. Results: ECTP13 and CTE (on3). Both tests had a sudden planar collapse down 40cm, and the blocks slid off onto our laps. We skied down the uptrack.

Crusty

Published: Dec 6th, 2023

We went to Frisby to assess the damage done by the rain earlier this week. Below 1400m, air temps were still in the positives and the upper snowpack was still wet. The crust appeared somewhere between 1400-1600m. At 2000m, the crust was 5cm thick, generally not supportive to boots and variably supportive to sleds. Flurries throughout the morning covered the crust in 15cm of new snow. In our snow profile, we found 30cm of moist or wet snow below the crust. We also observed a layer of large graupel 60cm deep and a layer of large surface hoar crystals 80-90 cm deep. Neither gave significant repeatable results in snowpack tests. Unofficial methods following the tests got the block to shoot out on the surface hoar layer. We postulated that the crust and lack of consolidated slab directly above the problem layers is holding things together for now. The bottom 60 cm of the snowpack was composed of faceted snow. Everyone we spoke to agreed the riding was pretty challenging. We’d probably wait for another snowfall before heading out again.
