Regions

North Rockies, East Kakwa, Tumbler.

Small isolated wind slabs may remain on lee slopes near ridgetops

Continue to verify conditions and use normal caution while travelling in avalanche terrain.


Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain due to a limited number of field observations.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported, and human-triggered avalanches remain unlikely. The danger is expected to remain low until Tuesday, when the weather pattern potentially shifts to bring some moderate precipitation to the region.

There have been very limited observations from this area. If you’re heading out, please consider sharing details about the weather and riding conditions through the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

A dusting of new snow is covering a widespread crust to mountaintop.

Small wind slabs may be triggerable in isolated leeward areas at upper elevations.

The mid-December facet/crust layer is buried approximately 80 cm deep and is considered unlikely to trigger at this time.

Weather Summary

Sunday Night

Mostly cloudy. 0 to 3 cm of snow. 20 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -9 °C.

Monday

Mostly cloudy. 3 to 5 cm of snow. 30 km/h east ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -13 °C.

Tuesday

Mostly cloudy. 4 to 10 cm of snow. 40 km/h east ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -24 °C.

Wednesday

Mix of sun and clouds. 20 km/h southeast ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -29 °C.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Periods of low danger may be a good time to increase your exposure.
  • Carefully evaluate big and steep terrain features before committing to them.
  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.

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.
