Weather Forecast
High pressure ridge continues to dominate the weather pattern over the province. There's currently an inversion with temperatures expected to increase into the positive values at higher elevations. No precipitation expected in the next days.
Snowpack Summary
Upper snow pack continues to facet with a sun crust on south aspects. The November 12 surface hoar layer is down 50-110cm and is variable in size and distribution.
Avalanche Summary
No new avalanches.
Confidence
Due to the quality of field observations on Monday
Problems
Persistent Slabs
Persistent Slab avalanches are the release of a cohesive layer of snow (a slab) in the middle to upper snowpack, when the bond to an underlying persistent weak layer breaks. Persistent layers include: surface hoar, depth hoar, near-surface facets, or faceted snow. Persistent weak layers can continue to produce avalanches for days, weeks or even months, making them especially dangerous and tricky. As additional snow and wind events build a thicker slab on top of the persistent weak layer, this avalanche problem may develop into a Deep Persistent Slab.
