We will update this page with the latest Kokanee Glacier Park snow conditions as often as possible. Since we spend much of our time in the backcountry, away from the Internet, it will not be updated every day. However, we will try to update weekly and whenever major changes occur.
For the latest avalanche conditions see The Canadian Avalanche Association Kootenay Boundary Region bulletin.
