Update on Monashee mountains,
The snow continues out here in the Monashee mountains with 70-80 cms. of storm snow over the last 3 days. It has been highly reactive to skier triggering and there was a natural avalanche cycle Tuesday from the alpine into below treeline terrain with a significant wind event yesterday afternoon with the passing of the cold front yesterday afternoon. Today they are calling for another 20 cm. of snow - The December 26th crust is 85-100cm. deep at this point and has seen a lot of recent loading so it may soon start to become reactive.
In short the skiing is amazing but the hazard is quite high and the storm snow instabilities are deep enough now to produce significant avalanches - so be prudent in your run choice and be aware of overhead threat of larger terrain features that may produce large natural avalanche.
Ski Safe,
Scott Davis
