Regions

Sea To Sky, South Coast Inland, Brandywine, Garibaldi, Homathko, Powell River, Spearhead, Tantalus, Birkenhead, Duffey, South Chilcotin, Stein, Taseko.

Storm slabs may form throughout the day at upper elevations.

Use small, low-consequence slopes to test the bond of the new snow.

Confidence

Low

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches were reported on Tuesday. However, observations in this region are currently very limited.

Please consider sharing your observations to the MIN.

On Monday, a rider remotely triggered a size 2 wind slab on a northerly aspect in the alpine. The bed surface was a crust. See MIN

Snowpack Summary

At upper elevations, 5 to 10 cm of recent snow has been redistributed by southerly wind.

A significant crust is down 20 to 100 cm.

Snowpack depth ranges from 50 to 150 cm at treeline and above.

Snow depth tapers rapidly with elevation.

Rocks, stumps, logs, and open creeks pose a significant hazard in many areas.

Weather Summary

Wednesday Night

Partly cloudy. 10 km/h southeast ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C.

Thursday

Cloudy with flurries. 2 to 10 cm of snow at treeline. 10 km/h east ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C.

Friday

Sunny. 10 km/h northeast ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.

Saturday

Mostly sunny. 10 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Watch for fresh storm slabs building throughout the day.
  • Use small, low consequence slopes to test the bond of the new snow.
  • If it's deep enough to ride, it's deep enough to slide (avalanche).
  • Be cautious of buried obstacles, especially below treeline.

Problems

Storm Slabs

Storm Slab avalanches are the release of a cohesive layer (a slab) of new snow that breaks within new snow or on the old snow surface. Storm-slabs typically last between a few hours and few days (following snowfall). Storm-slabs that form over a persistent weak layer (surface hoar, depth hoar, or near-surface facets) may be termed Persistent Slabs or may develop into Persistent Slabs.
