Vancouver Island Avalanche Bulletin
The Vancouver Island Avalanche Bulletin has finished operations for the 2009/2010 season.
For current mountain conditions reports visit the Island Mountain Conditions Forum or follow links from the Island Alpine Guides web site at http://islandalpineguides.com/.
To speak to a guide to discuss current conditions you can call Island Alpine Guides on 250 400 2870.
If you are interested in being a sponsor of the Island Avalanche Bulletin for the 2010/2011 season please contact info@islandalpineguides.com. The bulletin sees more than 20,000 visits a winter so sponsors reach a very specific target group (and they help a worthwhile endeavour!).
Play safe this summer!
Important Notice
This bulletin covers the mountainous region of Vancouver Island from the Mt. Cain Ski Area in the North to the Beaufort range to the South including the mountains of Strathcona Provincial Park.
This is a regional forecast and significant variation may exist within the forecast area. The information and danger ratings are intended as a trip planning aid for recreational, backcountry users of avalanche terrain; they are not meant to be used as the sole factor in determining the avalanche danger presented by a specific slope.
Always include local weather, snowpack and avalanche observations in your decision to travel in avalanche terrain. Observations and experience may lead to different conclusions from what is reported or recommended. See disclaimer for further details. The technical data used to produce these bulletins is obtained from a variety of sources, including local ski areas and remote weather resources.
