Explosive control work Wednesday found slabs were reactive in the alpine and into treeline. Consider human triggering of these slabs to be likely.

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.
Mountain Collective
Go North
Updated 1 day ago
The weather pattern for most destinations will turn quieter over the next 10 days as we await the potential for stronger storms to return in early March. Canada, along with Grand Targhee and Jackson Hole, will be favored in the short-term.
Alberta
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
5 to 10cm of new snow arrived with strong winds Thursday contributing to the wind slabs above the February 19 interface created by 50cm of snow combined with extreme west winds over the weekend. Now down 60 to 90cm, facets buried Jan 27 provide weak support for the upper snowpack and have been entrained as avalanches gouge down to them.
Avalanche Activity
Wednesday, explosive triggers continued to easily release large avalanchesrunning to the bottom of their paths. This includes large avalanches on Mt Field and Mt Dennis. Results in the Simpson area were limited due to less wind in the area. A skier accidental sz 1.5 on the SW slope between Wolverine and Purple bowl was reported late Wednesday.
More Details
