Regions

South Coast Inland, Birkenhead, Duffey, South Chilcotin, Stein, Taseko.

Human-triggered avalanches are possible. Use caution as you transition into wind-affected terrain.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain due to the timing, track, and intensity of the incoming weather system.
  • We are confident the likelihood of avalanches will increase with the forecast weather.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported recently.

If you go into the backcountry, support the forecast by posting a MIN.

Snowpack Summary

10 to 20 cm of new snow is expected by the end of the forecast period on Tuesday. This new snow overlies a melt-freeze crust, moist snow, or isothermal conditions, depending on aspect and elevation.

The snowpack has undergone multiple warming and cooling cycles, forming a series of crusts interspersed with dense, rounded grains.

Weather Summary

Monday Night

Cloudy. 2 to 4 cm of snow. 50 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C. Freezing level 1500 m.

Tuesday

Mostly cloudy. 10 to 15 cm of snow. 50 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -5 °C.

Wednesday

Mix of sun and clouds. 5 to 15 cm of snow. 30 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -8 °C.

Thursday

Mix of sun and clouds. 2 to 3 cm of snow. 30 km/h northwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -6 °C.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Wind slabs are most reactive during their formation.
  • Approach lee and cross-loaded slopes with caution.

Problems

Wind Slabs

Wind Slab avalanches are the release of a cohesive layer of snow (a slab) formed by the wind. Wind typically transports snow from the upwind sides of terrain features and deposits snow on the downwind side. Wind slabs are often smooth and rounded and sometimes sound hollow, and can range from soft to hard. Wind 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.
