        Avalanche Conditions Report #2 - VIDEO

        Welcome to Episode 2 of the 2024/2025 Avalanche Conditions Report with Wendy from Whitewater Ski Resort Snow Safety Team.

        Avalanche Canada is currently rating the danger as considerable across all elevations, with a storm slab and persistent slab concern.

        Crust and surface hoar layers from early December are widespread across the Kootenays. Limited avalanche activity has been reported in the Apex drainage (immediately around Whitewater), but areas like the Goat Range and Bonningtons have seen greater reactivity.

        Stormy conditions will continue tonight through the weekend, with avalanche danger fluctuating as snowfall intensifies or there are lulls in the storm. Stay alert for signs of instability as recent natural avalanches and cracking in the storm snow are signs of an unstable snowpack.
