Crawford-Dogtooth-East Purcell-Moyie-St. Mary-West Purcell — Лавинный прогноз

Avalanche activity rapidly declined the past couple of days with cooler weather.Looking forward, avalanche activity is unlikely anywhere a thick and hard crust is on the snow surface. Travel safely near cornices. Use caution in extreme terrain, where small, loose or slab avalanches could push you off your feet.

Anywhere from a dusting to 10 cm of snow overlies a hard melt-freeze crust. Isolated wind slabs may be found on southerly slopes in the high alpine. Periods of snow this weekend will build on this. The snow surface may melt on sun-exposed slopes and at lower elevations during the heat of the day.Numerous hard crusts are found in the top half of the snowpack. In the high alpine near Invermere, a layer of weak facets may persist above one of these crusts, found 30 to 80 cm deep.The snowpack continues to melt below treeline.
