South Coast

Snow flurries are forecast for the next few days, however, If significant snowfall occurs, be on the lookout for windslabs at treeline and above.

Good - Freezing levels are uncertain

Light flurries forecast for the next few days, then a dry ridge will redevelop over the BC interior, with the next significant moisture arriving later in the week.

No recent avalanches have been reported.

A thick supportive surface crust is capping the snowpack. Below the crust is the recent storm snow which is around 50-70cm deep and sits on a previously variable snow surface that included wind affected surfaces, a freezing rain crust or sun crust, and/or surface hoar or sugary facets in sheltered terrain. In the middle of the snowpack you might find the mid-December surface hoar or crust/facet weak layers. These are now typically buried 1m or more. The old surface hoar layer may be found in sheltered shady areas at and below treeline, while the slightly deeper crust/facet layer is expected to be more widespread but also more variable.
