Lo esencial

Strong southerly winds have formed wind slabs in leeward features.

Use caution as you transition into wind-affected terrain.

Problemas de aludes

  • Wind Slabs

    Tamaño

    Wind slabs will be most reactive on northern-facing aspects and where the slab overlies surface hoar.

  • Persistent Slabs

    Probabilidad
    Unlikely - Possible
    Tamaño
    2.5–3.5

    A weak layer of facets may be found 90 to 280 cm deep. In shallower inland areas, weak depth hoar exists to ground. Avoid steep, rocky, and thin snowpack areas where this layer could be triggered.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain about alpine conditions due to limited field observations.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported.

Observations are limited, so be sure to post yours to the MIN if you get out!

Snowpack Summary

Recent snowfall totals last week reached 35 cm, with warm temperatures producing a surface crust up to 1200 m. Strong south-southwesterly wind continues to impact loose snow at upper elevations.

A crust buried on Jan 26th is reported to be down 40 to 60 cm. On northern and eastern aspects, a layer of surface hoar exists over the crust in some places.

A layer of facets from December is buried down 90–280 cm. It remains a concern where the snowpack transitions from thin to thick in White Pass and is the layer of concern in inland areas with a lower snowpack.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Choose low-angled, sheltered terrain where new snow hasn't been wind-affected.
  • Avoid areas where the snow feels stiff and/or slabby.
  • Avoid shallow, rocky areas where the snowpack transitions from thick to thin.
