Avalanche Conditions

I would use the AvCan report from the BC side of the divide "Ongoing snow and winds have produced dangerous avalanche conditions. Stick to low-angle terrain with no overhead hazard, like large avalanche paths or cornices.". In addition there may be considerable reverse loading from the North wind associated with this storm. Castle Mountain ski area is showing 25cm new snow and counting (06:30 this morning) and this is on a wind affected or old crust at ridge tops
