Regions

Sea To Sky, Brandywine, Garibaldi, Homathko, Powell River, Spearhead, Tantalus.

Under current conditions, a fall in steep terrain poses a greater risk than avalanches.

Confidence

High

  • We are confident due to a stable weather pattern.

Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanches have been reported.

Snowpack Summary

A hard surface crust extends to mountain top on all aspects and elevations. The crust may break down during daytime warming.

Cornices are reported to be large and looming. Be mindful of them overhead or when travelling on ridge tops.

The snowpack is generally well settled and strong, with no current layers of concern.

Weather Summary

Monday
Mostly cloudy. 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C.

Tuesday
Mostly cloudy. Up to 5 cm of snow. 40 to 70 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C. Freezing level 1500 m.

Wednesday
Cloudy. 25 to 40 cm of snow above 1200 m. 50 to 80 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -1 °C. Freezing level 1500 m.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
  • A hard crust on the snow surface will help strengthen the snowpack, but may cause tough travel conditions.
  • Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
  • The snowpack is generally stable; it may be appropriate to step out into more complex terrain.
