No new avalanche activity has been reported since Monday, when warm temperatures and sun triggered wet loose avalanches.

Varying amounts of snow continue to fall at higher elevations, particularly on the east side of the region. Recent snow sits atop variable melt-freeze crusts or moist snow. While weak, faceted layers may exist in the mid and lower snowpack (especially in shallow snowpack areas), these layers are not expected to be reactive while the upper snowpack remains strong and supportive. This could change later in the spring during prolonged periods of above-freezing temperatures.Check out this MIN report from Thursday from the Crowsnest area for more details.
