It should be another sunny day above the valley cloud. A slow cooling trend will be happening over the next 24 hrs with some snow in the forecast for the weekend. There will likely be a thin crust on solar aspects, but the Northerly bowls in the alpine will be the best snow today. Have a good day.
Backcountry Conditions
Watch for variable conditions on Southerly aspects today with the Northerlies being the best skiing. The avalanche danger should decrease over the short term but still use caution as you asses the stability of the upper snowpack. Go to avalanche.ca for more details.
