Snowpack Update - Selkirks North of Kaslo, BC - Nov 15 2024

Date: November 15, 2024
Submission by: Julie Ann Chapman, CMBGA Level 3, CAA ops 2, lead guide at She Shreds Mountain Adventures.
Location: Selkirk’s North of Kaslo, BC
Aspect: all aspects
Elevation: 1900m-2300m

Terrain Traveled:

We unloaded the sleds at snow line at 1300m and travelled for most of the day between 1900m and 2300m

Snowpack Depths: 

Snowpack varies from 90cm- 100cm between 1900m & 2300m. Coverage is still marginal with open creeks, rocks and stumps hidden just below the snow. A-arm roulette at its finest. We did find a very supportive crust down 50cm on all aspects between 1900-2300m where our ski tips were not penetrating through, but our tracks were. 

Avalanches: 

We did not observe any avalanches nor feel any settlements today. 

Surface conditions: 

POWDER!
