Daily Snow Forecasts

British Columbia
2020-2021 Season Recap
Updated 3 days ago Alan Smith
Most ski areas are closed for the season and high pressure will dominate the weather pattern for the foreseeable future, so I decided that now would be a good time to wrap up the winter forecasting season. Most regions of BC experienced an above-average winter in terms of snowpack, except for the southeast corner where snowpack has been below average.
US and Canada
Snowy pattern for Colorado, Central Rockies
Updated 4 days ago Alan Smith
An active pattern across the Central Rockies will result in multiple days in a row of new snow with mid-April powder days possible for ski areas that are still open. New England will also see a bonus late-season storm on Friday and Saturday with heavy snow for portions of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.

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.

Avalanche Danger
Considerable (3)
Valid Saturday, Apr 17th 4:00pm PDT 19 hours ago
Until Sunday, Apr 18th 4:00pm PDT

Start (and finish) your day early and avoid exposure to sun-exposed avalanche terrain. Look for high elevation north facing objectives without cornices overhead, and plan your egress route carefully.

Check out the Forecaster's Blog for more on managing spring conditions.

Snowpack Discussion

High overnight freezing levels mean that the snow surface remains moist or wet in many areas. In places where the surface forms a crust overnight, it should quickly soften during they day with sunshine and warm temperatures. Dry snow may still be found on high elevation north aspects. The mid and lower snowpack are well settled and strong.

Avalanche Activity

There have been several recent reports of wet loose avalanches up to size 2 on south aspects.

Looking forward, wet loose avalanches are expected on solar aspects with sunny weather and high freezing levels. Cornice failures will also become more likely. Wind slabs may still be possible to trigger in on north aspects in the alpine.
