WINTER of 2023.

This page serves to aggregate many sources of relevant weather data and information found on line and is in constant development. We hope that the information here serves the outdoor sports community in helping make better decisions about their outdoor activities.

Although this page is geo-specific to Red and Granite Mountains near Rossland, BC, many of the tools apply to much of the Pacific North West.

Ullr's Stormcast

March 14th @ 9:30 AM

We are now getting into spring time temperatures, cool nights and warmer days, particularly on south facing slopes when there is solar input (sunshine). Be aware that this will raise the avalanche danger on sun exposed slopes as the snowpack warms!

We are headed into a period where a high pressure ridge will dominate bringing sunny skies and little new precipitation. Looks like the next bigger storm event may be close to the end of March, keep your fingers crossed!
