The Canadian Avalanche Centre has just issued a special warning for most of southern and central BC. The rating risk is "Considerable" for the Kootenay Boundary area. In the Kootenay Boundary region the centre is warning of dangerous avalanche conditions and that careful snow pack evaluation, cautious route finding and conservative decision making are essential to stay safe. In the South Columbia region the rating is "High" and travel is not recommended in avalanche areas. These warnings are in effect until at least Monday, January 24th. Anytime you are considering a trip into the backcountry please check with the Canadian Avalanche Centre for their recommendations. We live in an amazing outdoor playground but lets be careful while we out having winter fun.
