    Cornices are large and fragile, and often break further back on ridgelines than expected.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain about how the snowpack will react to the forecast weather.

Avalanche Summary

Several natural cornice falls were reported on Friday. Loose wet avalanches were also reported to size 2.5.

Observations from this region are currently limited. Please consider submitting a MIN to let us know what you're seeing out there.

Snowpack Summary

A lack of overnight refreeze will likely keep the snow surface moist/wet to mountain top.

A thick crust from mid-March is 20-60 cm deep, which extends up to about 2400 m. Near Invermere, weak sugary facets may be found above this crust.

In shallow snowpack areas, depth hoar (large facets) can be found near the bottom of the snowpack. Snowpack depth tapers rapidly at lower elevations.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
  • Cornice failures could trigger large and destructive avalanches.
