660 meters +1, Valley Temp, Max Temp Yesterday was +1. 4.0 mm of price in 24 hours.
As of 07:00 Hrs we have broken skies and unlimited visibility.
With the high finally pushed out of the region expect to see avalanche closures where there are temporary boundaries in the upcoming week. Remember that entering avalanche closures results in loosing your riding privileges. To access the park when there are avalanche closures on Blackcomb you can access the park from the bottom of 7 Th Heaven chair and skin up into Lower Disease Ridge. Singing Pass trail is another alternate route.
For the forecast, a brief unsettled period for Wednesday morning with a warm front pushing onto the coast by this afternoon. Freezing level is expected to rise to 1600 meters by this evening, and slowly come back down around 1000 meters Thursday evening as a trailing cold front moves through. Looks like tomorrow will be a storm skiing day. We can expect a parade of low pressure systems with an active pattern to continue into early next week. Guesstimates: 10-15 cm by Thursday morning.
Next front off the coast, Majority of the precip went SE.
Today into Thursday.
Friday into Saturday looks juicy.
