Avalanche out of the North West Couloir of Wedge in the past week.

Looking like clouds for the first part of today.

Spent the past 8 days out on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. Early morning light! More photos from the trip below.

At 2240 meters the temperature was -.5 with winds 25-45 KPH from the SSE. At 1650 meters the temperature was +4. In the valley the temperature was +10 as of 07:00 hrs this AM.

For the forecast a weak upper level trough will bring unsettled weather to our area until the weekend. Ridging will establish sunny conditions by Monday. Isolated rain showers can be expected with sunny breaks for the next few days.
