Regions: Tutshi, Wheaton, White Pass East, White Pass West, Yukon.

Use caution in areas where the snowpack transitions from thick to thin, especially near ridge crests.

Soft snow can be found in sheltered terrain features.

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

There have been no new persistent slab avalanches reported in the past 3 days, but uncertainty remains regarding the early December layer mentioned in the snowpack summary.

Snowpack Summary

Moderate outflow(northeast) wind has impacted the snow surface forming wind slab on south and west aspects while scouring and pressing other aspects.

A weak layer of facets and a crust from early December is buried 70 to 100 cm deep. This layer exists on all aspects up to around 1700 m.

At the highway elevation the snow is 120 cm deep and in the alpine exceeds 200 cm.

Weather Summary

Thursday Night

Partly cloudy with trace amounts of snow possible. 15 to 30 km/h northeast ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -23 °C, potential for temperature inversion with warmer temperatures in the alpine.

Friday

Mostly sunny. 10 to 20 km/h variable ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -19 °C, potential for temperature inversion with warmer temperatures in the alpine.

Saturday

Sunny. 15 to 30 km/h northeast ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -20 °C, potential for temperature inversion with warmer temperatures in the alpine.

Sunday

Sunny. 20 to 40 km/h northeast ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -20 °C, potential for temperature inversion with warmer temperatures in the alpine.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avoid shallow, rocky areas where the snowpack transitions from thick to thin.
  • Be careful as you transition into wind-affected terrain.

Avalanche Problems

Persistent Slabs

The early December weak layer may still be triggered in shallow, thin-to-thick areas, or with large loads like a cornice or an avalanche that releases further up in the snowpack.

Aspects: All aspects.

Elevations: Alpine, Treeline.

Likelihood: Unlikely - Possible

Expected Size: 2 - 3
