We have received less than 5mm of precipitation in the last 48 hours and no significant new snow. Temperatures have been near freezing giving the snowpack time to settle and bond.

The forecast calls for very light precipitation quantities and near freezing temperatures. This should help to maintain our stability.

Avalanche danger is LOW in the urban environment at this time.
