Another series of systems

We received about 70cm over the last 7 days, and the snow will continue through the weekend. A strong Pacific storm approaching the British Columbia coast will move into the Central Interior this morning. Exposed ridge tops are expected to experience strong southeasterly winds of 80 to 100 km/h early this morning. Winds should ease this morning as the system exits the region. The storm last night slipped a bit south of us sending most of the overnight precip south, and leaving us with some winds and light snow today.

Avalanche conditions are expected to worsen through the weekend please read the bulletins!
