More snow for the Northwest & Northern Rockies
Updated 4 hours ago
British Columbia and Washington were hit with another good storm on Thursday. Heavy snow will continue to fall across the Cascades on Friday, while Idaho and the Tetons in Wyoming will also score deep snow totals. The storm track will remain favorable for the Northwest heading into early next week, and eventually by late next week, the Sierras & Tahoe may get in on the action as well.

Deep Pow Across the Rockies
Updated 2 days ago
Deep powder has finally returned to the heart of the Rockies with storm totals of 45cm at Sunshine Village, 42cm Lake Louise, and 41cm to the south at Castle Mountain since Sunday night. The high winds will slacken quite a bit on Tuesday with widespread flurries that could bring another 3 to 10cm. High-pressure ridging will dry things out Wednesday.

Avalanche Forecast
Avalanche Forecasts are for use by experienced backcountry travelers in uncontrolled sidecountry and backcountry terrain. These forecasts and conditions do not apply to open, in-bounds terrain at ski resorts, which is subject to avalanche control by local resort ski patrol.
Snowpack Discussion
Recent snowfall amounts vary across the region with 10-20 cm of new snow. Wind slabs are expected to build over the day in exposed terrain at treeline and alpine elevations. Storm slabs may continue to build in sheltered areas at all elevations. These slabs are expected to reach between 30 and 60 cm thick over the region and sit above sugary faceted snow formed mid-February.
A persistent slab 50 to 80 cm deep sits above a weak layer of surface hoar and may be found in sheltered terrain or otherwise faceted grains and/or a hard melt-freeze crust. This weak layer has recently been easily reactive to human triggers around the region. Check out this MIN report from yesterday in the Ruault Lake area in the western flank of the region.
Weak faceted grains and a decomposing melt-freeze crust are likely found near the base of the snowpack. There have not been recent avalanche observations on this layer, but steep and rocky slopes, as well as shallow snowpack areas, should be approached with caution.
Avalanche Activity
On Wednesday, this MIN report highlights a critical incident of a rider-triggered persistent slab size 3. Also on Wednesday, this MIN reportindicates another remotely-triggered size 2 slab avalanche. Whether it's a wind slab or a persistent slab problem, they're catching folks by surprise and will not heal quickly.
Looking towards Friday, human triggering of storm, wind, and persistent slabs will remain likely. Conditions are not easily managed right now, warranting a conservative mindset!
