Badshot-Battle-Blue River-Central Selkirk-Clearwater — Avalanche Forecast

Numerous large (size 2 to 3) wind slabs were triggered by riders and naturally the past few days (e.g., this MIN). They released on northeast aspects in alpine terrain. Otherwise, many wet loose and slab avalanches released during warm weather on all aspects and at all elevations.Looking forward, avalanche activity may decrease as cooler and cloudier weather arrives. Continue using caution around cornices and on sun-exposed slopes during the heat of the day.

Wet snow is found up to about 3000 m, which will slowly freeze into a melt-freeze crust as cooler weather arrives. The snow surface will remain wet during the day on sun-exposed slopes and at lower elevations.The remainder of the snowpack is strong, with various thick melt-freeze crusts found in the upper to middle portions of the snowpack.The snowpack continues to melt below treeline.
