Gondola report

Published: Apr 3rd, 2026
Saw old debris from multiple wet loose avalanches on all aspects. Snow was crusty over mashed potatoes. Lots of roller balls and tree bombs. Riding quality was sub par, easy skinning, 150-200m of vis. Stayed out of the alpine for the most part. Road has some dirt patches, but “technically” skinnable from the gondola

Sea to Sky Gondola -- Don't botha!

Published: Apr 3rd, 2026
Wet snow to 1600m and variable surfaces above. A strong warming event on April 2nd or perhaps the day before caused widespread loose wet avalanches on all aspects and elevations. So there is a lot of debris to ski over!

Sky pilot area

Published: Mar 27th, 2026
Toured from the gondola to top of stadium gully. 10-20 cm on crust on the alpine and quite variable in the gully. Some turns were acceptable and some left much to be desired. Sheltered areas in the trees skied much better. No signs of instability or avalanche activity. We didn't see much wind loading

West coast powder

Published: Feb 28th, 2026
Out to enjoy a sunny walk & talk snow science with mentee. Goals accomplished. T shirt weather. Just some ladies playing it safe and scoping out the ‘pack. CT and ECT on pit dug down to 145cm. Snow depth >270cm (probe measurement maxes out at 270). 1530m 30 degree W slope. 10C. 4F-1F down to the crust. Snow is rounding well. Couldn’t find any facets. Snowpack reasonably well consolidated down to the crust. 15 down CTM17 SP storm snow layer 20 down CTM19 SP 110 down CTH24 SP, early Feb crust ECTN13 and no other results. Approach: parked at 570 with an SUV. Lots of worker vehicles. Walked until ~780 until transition to skinning. Skied down until 800m. Skiing: little bit of trees before the road were enjoyable. West coast powder. A little heavy but just enough float to enjoy the mellow slopes. Tree bombs and pin wheeling - as expected given the nuking sun.

Homerun

Published: Feb 27th, 2026
Skinned up to our high point at 1528m. Broken skies, snowing 1cm/hr with moderate winds at treeline. Rode "creamy" pow turns through mellow, open terrain into Home Run, where it quickly turned to schmoo 1/2 way down. Only evidence of snow moving was minor pinwheeling from trees and rider's turns. Still open holes in the creek and treewell hazards in the area.

Anif naturals

Published: Feb 25th, 2026
Went to check out the lay of the land on Anif, particular the N facing chutes. We observed, from afar, multiple naturals all the way across the ridgetops, mid slope and below, including on less steep sections. Quite impressive and a clear sign to us to abandon our objective. We turned back before heading up the col and climbed the cut block to the top of Muligan. From our vantage point there by the size of the trees our best guess is crowns 30-60cm in spots with tons of hang fire remaining especially around mid-slope and cliff top features. As we summited snow was being transported rapidly by more SW winds and start zones were actively loading/reloading. Be safe out there. Skied NNW/NW slope of Mulligan which had decent snow until the cutblock which was sun and wind beaten into an impenetrable, awful crust.

Large avalanches during the storm

Published: Feb 24th, 2026
Evidence of slides from the last storm cycle was impressive near the S2S Gondola. In addition to the Sz3 reported yesterday (which ran from near the top of Sky Pilot all the way down to ~1300m) we saw a Sz2.5 below the saddle on the N side of the Copilot. There was evidence of several Sz1-2 slides elsewhere as well. We jumped on several smaller steep slopes and couldn't get anything to move today, but stayed away from anything consequential. Small surface hoar was growing on the surface and survived the day on polar aspects. Snow stayed cold and wintry on polar aspects down to around 1000m. Anything that saw significant sun had crusted over by the end of the day.

Sky Pilot/Ledge Trees

Published: Feb 23rd, 2026
We skied around the Shannon Creek basin between 1550m-1200m. We skied the tree triangle down to Home Run and 2 laps down Hot-Dog. There was 60-70cm HST from this last storm, which was quite high density at the elevations skied today with a bit of low density fluff on top. Moist snow below 1300m. Skiing was pretty good and right side up. HS was 260cm at 1380m Avalanches of note: there was a size 3 that came out off the North face of Sky Pilot and ran all the way down to the basin where the skin track usually crosses to get over to Hot Dog area. It was hard to see the crown line as it was obscured with cloud. The debris was covered with 10cm of new snow. Size 1.5 windslab out of the lower Cleavage run, pulling under the rock face. The size 2 slope above Home Run trees had not pulled and we avoided crossing right under this. There were a few size 1-1.5 just passed the regular performer. Exit gully had a few crown lines down the path but the upper entrance had not pulled. We suspect there is a crust on this now due to being in the sun for 30min + while we were in the area.

Sky Pilot NWF

Published: Feb 21st, 2026
Skied the NWF of Sky Pilot to avoid the crowds going to the couloirs. Saw isolated signs of 2-inch wind slabs forming off our skin track about 2/3 way up the face, so we transitioned early and skied down. No signs of propagation and the layer crumbled easily under our skis. For our second lap we went to the top and it still skied well. Skied the gully and trees below for our second/third laps and they skied really well, definitely more tracked out though. Finished with Home Run which was definitely quite skied out as expected.

Wind Slab Avalanche, Co-Pilot Area

Published: Feb 21st, 2026

Sky pilot

Published: Feb 16th, 2026
ECT at 1600m on north facing slope. Fractured 35cm down at 6th hit from shoulder. Didn’t propagate across column. We also observed lots of sluff activity in the area. The skin through the trees up to the alpine is very low coverage and difficult right now. Great day out!

Touchy, but loose

More new snow than expected!

Shannon Basin Update

Published: Feb 14th, 2026
10 ~ cm on the road until around 950-1000m where snow cover is more consistent. Patches of dirt exposed in some spots under the tree canopy below 950m. Skinning up through the trees is marginal (I booted most of this). Above TL the snow coverage is much better. Along with the ski quality. At TL the last significant crust sits roughly 30-50cm deep. In the alpine (1800m) it sits roughly 50-70cm deep. Overall ski quality is quite good with some wind effect along ridge crest’s and N Facing slopes. However, not enough to deteriorate ski quality. Snowed another 5cm throughout the day. Worth the hassle down low if you have good visibility in the Alpine.

A little thin, but snowing

Published: Feb 1st, 2026
Wet snow falling at 1230 m, but not enough snow to ski safely in the trees. Creeks still open. Probed 75-110 cm depth in the open. Debris from wet loose avalanches 12-24 h old in open slopes above us, we turned around.

Remote trigger NW convex roll

Mountain mentors day out. Goals for today were kickturns and snow discussions during a storm (goals accomplished). Few avalanches noted during our outing, seen above the trees uptrack, described in the avalanche tab. Notable remote trigger pictured.

JordsyU

Published: Jan 10th, 2026
Skied the Ledge Basin on Saturday, January 10. Temperatures warmed steadily throughout the day, with heavy, dense powder below approximately 1350 m. With wind slab as the primary concern, I ski-cut a small north-facing test slope off Zeus Dome. The initial cut triggered a thin surface wind slab (~5 cm) that ran as no more than a sluff. After a few additional stomps and cuts, a larger wind slab propagated, releasing a crown up to ~20 cm at the top and producing a size 1 avalanche.

Cleavage Lavage

Heavage

Mulligan

Published: Jan 4th, 2026
Summit up mulligan. Terrible sloppy conditions around the ascending ridge. Ski through trees was difficult wet heavy and awful. Snowmobile has chewed up the trail to mulligan making for a terrible ski out. Wet soggy snow. Boot packing through trees and 1400m sank up to waist in slop. Wouldn't recommend to anybody. No Avi risk of any to note

Sky Pilot Area

Published: Jan 5th, 2026
Great skiing up high. Terrible down low. Challenge was finding the sweet spot between wind affected snow in the alpine and heavy wet stuff at treeline. Below treeline was refrozen after the rain and had 1-2cm of new snow on the supportive crust. Observed a small wind slab that was kicked off by a skier near Stadium Glacier. Some large size 2+ natural avalanches came off the Nai Couloirs in the Ledge Basin I'd guess in the last few days (but probably not today). Can ski all the way to the S2S gondola.

As forecasted

Published: Dec 27th, 2025
The avalanche forecast matched what we saw during the day with tons of fun to be had on supported leeward slopes. Most of the avalanche activity we saw seemed to be from loading during the storms with the debris being partially buried by later snow or wind transport. We didn’t see the sun having much affect on the snow aside from some mild surface faceting

S2S Exploration

S2S Ledge zone

Published: Dec 20th, 2025
Solid recon day up to Ledge and down Home Run West. Great snow at treeline and above from the recent storm. Low snow coverage from the Habrich spur up to the tree line, hairy getting out.

Sky Pilot

Published: Jun 23rd, 2024
Took a group up to Sky Pilot Valley as far as the pink slab. Drizzly with a bit of snowfall, temp +1. Rock was slick and wet with consequential exposure so turned back. Snow line is from the upper forest so ~1400ft. Snow is consolidated so great walking. Snow extends all the way to the Pilot Copilot saddle so a pretty steep top out. No active avvy activity nor any cornices but check out the tree debris from an old ripper! Must be a 30yr slide. Debris is at the Stauchwall.

Wet schmoo below 1600 and nice high NF snow

Published: Mar 29th, 2024
Wet heavy snow below 1600m or anywhere in the sun, cloudy+warm in the morning and cleared around noon. Very deep cold snow in Ledge couloir, skied super well despite couple small slabs releasing while going down. Wet slides in steep sun exposed terrain, good bonding of recent snow apart from top 15cm. Gondi is finally getting a good base, pray for more storms in April 🙏

Cleavage to Home Run

Published: Mar 29th, 2024
A lap of cleavage down to the junction then over to home run to get out. Snow was surprisingly fun. Was fast enough and boot deep in the shade. Anywhere with direct sun was like glue. Dug a few hand pits and found slabby feeling consolidated snow on north faces around 1500m on top of a bit of a layer of less consolidated but dense snow.

Exit Gully

Published: Mar 28th, 2024
Ride Exit Gully today (28/3), one of two groups in the area. New snow was between 5 to up to 30cms deep in some wind loaded features. New snow appeared well bonded to crust and we observed no signs of instability except for very localized cracking at the ridge top where the wind had formed a denser slab (~8cm thick). Hand shear and aggressive ski cuts did not produce any results. Snow quality was great albeit a bit heavy and definitely wetter towards the bottom. Triangle trees soundtrack was fine and the cat track was skinnable from the Gondi.

Wet and slow, no viz

Published: Mar 26th, 2024
Snowing S1 @ 1200m at noon. warming and thick alpine fog after. Pinwheeling noted

Stadium Glacier

Published: Mar 24th, 2024
Trail from gondola groomed up to Habrich climb trail, forest section very hard, frozen, crusty, good to have crampoons, we bootpacked and it was slow and painfull. Once you get up on the open the travel is way easier. Up higher and around glacier area we found really nice and fun riding conditions, about 5-10 cm of fresh snow. Way out fairly quick, tricky through the forest again.

Bagpipe Peak - size 3

Sky Pilot Moraines - A Big Na!

Published: Mar 13th, 2024
Fun day avalanche viewing on day 3 of a big mountain decision making and ski mountaineering course with Holly Walker (Fall Line Guides). 280cm crown down to basal facets across the ridge above the moraine. Big one! Broken skies with a couple of convective flurries with In-N-Out Sun. Fun quality heavy pow above 1300m, getting extremely isothermal and concrete-like on the ski out by 2pm.

Ledge Trees

Published: Mar 8th, 2024
Lots of small natural avalanches were observed on all aspects from accumulating storm snow throughout the day. We skied in dense and open trees from the ridge to the basin of ledge trees. The snow was delicious, but the trees dense. While looking for another line to ski, 1 member in the party triggered a size 1. Skier was not caught and able to ski into a safe zone with some other trees. Taking a few steps forward, skier trigger a .5 remote avalanche. We decided to bail on the area and ski a different location. We later focused on N / NE aspect trees and found deep stashes of powdery goodness.

Mulligan night lap

Published: Mar 6th, 2024
Some crust forming on south west aspect. Probed significant crust down 120cm. Hs 225cm. Cold clear night. West facing cut block skied well

Gondola served mashed potatoes today

Published: Feb 12th, 2024
Multiple avalanche debris on all aspects from warming and rain on Saturday. Rain turned to snow around 1200m 10 - 15 cm fell while we were there ending around 1:30. Snow was wet and sticky skiing on mashed potatoes. Dug hasty pit on alpine slope south facing around 1700m had two crusts near surface down 15 and 20 ish cm. Slope was not sheltered. Homerun had some open creek but was still skiable.

Shmoo and Avi Debris

Published: Jan 20th, 2024
Went for a walk up to Copilot. It rained to the top overnight Friday/Saturday and pretty much every single slope we saw had avalanched. The entire width of Stadium Glacier slid and the bowl was full of debris. Same with the whole slope overhanging the skier's right gulley below the glacier. The crowns were relatively shallow, but propagation was very wide. The snow was extremely heavy and wet but still ok for skiing up high - it became much worse after entering the forest. Warm temps and raining very lightly during the morning.

Ledge Area

Published: Jan 15th, 2024
Calm day little to no wind. Hard wind pressed snow on most alpine slope in the area mostly North facing. Variable snow at treeline and below with pockets of powder in sheltered terrain. Seems like very little snow left for transport in the alpine. no avalanche activity observed. Surface Hoar observed in sheltered areas mostly along the "sky pilot FSR"

Hoar City

Published: Dec 3rd, 2023
Pit dug in the valley flats, no failure tests done. Most notable feature was notable hoar between 60-65cm. Findings align with Sky Pilot snowmodel :)

Anif Ridge Deep Powder

Published: Dec 3rd, 2023
45cm of fresh snow within the last 24 hours made for very arduous trail breaking. Became slow going and near impossible to wallow through it along the ridge near the summit of Anif. Lots of big whumps on the low angle / flat terrain before ascending the ridge. No sign of avalanche activity and no slides triggered as we skied back down the ridge. Could do with more coverage for the small trees on the ridge and for the chutes to go clean.

Gunsight

Published: Apr 16th, 2023

Windy outside of couloir, calm within.

Skyline Ridge

Published: Apr 2nd, 2023

Played it safe along Skyline Ridge Trail, mellow slopes, super light powder, and stepping around creeks. Dry loose snow around 900m, breakable crust at approx 20 cm. Significant snowfall until 1030AM, scattered flurries until the early afternoon when the sun started peaking out. Snow became heavier on the ski out, and stuck to skins

To much smiling

Published: Apr 2nd, 2023

Skied a few laps in the Tree Triangle. We found the top 5cm would occasionally sluff off, and the new snow below was stable and had not consolidated yet.
