Lo esencial

Rising temperatures and the chance for a bit of sunshine on Sunday may be enough to trigger loose wet avalanches on steep slopes facing the sun.

Problemas de aludes

  • Wind Slabs

    • Alta montaña
    • Límite del bosque
    • Bajo el límite del bosque
    Probabilidad
    Possible - Likely
    Tamaño
    1–2
    Recent storm snow and strong winds have formed wind slabs in leeward areas near ridge crests and on convex features which may be reactive to human triggers.

  • Loose Wet

    • Alta montaña
    • Límite del bosque
    • Bajo el límite del bosque
    Probabilidad
    Likely
    Tamaño
    1–2
    When the sun comes out it will quickly weaken the new snow and cause loose wet avalanching on steep solar slopes.

Confidence

Moderate - Timing, track, or intensity of incoming weather system is uncertain

Avalanche Summary

Several naturally triggered wind slabs up to size 2 were reported near Fernie on Friday.

Snowpack Summary

10-20 cm of recent storm snow and moderate winds have formed wind slabs sitting on hard crusts on lee features at treeline and above which may be reactive to human triggers. The upper snowpack contains numerous crusts.The mid-pack is generally well settled and strong.A layer of sugary facets around a crust can be found near the bottom of the snowpack which has been inactive for some time. This layer may be triggered by large triggers, such as a falling cornice, or by a major warm-up to the snowpack.
