    Small wet loose avalanches are likely on steep slopes during periods of warming and strong sun.

Avalanche Summary

On Friday, several explosive triggered small (size 1) wind slab avalanches where reported near Kelowna.

NOTE: Observations in this region are currently very limited.

Snowpack Summary

Up to 20 cm of recent snow overlies a 10 to 15 cm crust. On solar aspects, a crust exists on the surface. Beneath this is a moist upper snowpack.

The mid/lower snowpack is well settled and strong.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
  • Be careful as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
  • Rocks will heat up with daytime warming and may become trigger points for loose wet avalanches.
