    Small wind slabs exist in the alpine and are most likely to trigger where they overlie a crust.

Avalanche Summary

On Saturday, small ongoing wet loose and minor sluffing was observed.

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

20 to 30 cm of moist snow overlies a crust. At elevations below 1500 m, this snow is likely becoming wet. On solar aspects above 1500 m 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.
  • Avalanche danger will rapidly increase if snow switches to rain.
