Regions

Duffey, South Chilcotin, Stein, Taseko.

Watch for active wind transport of snow, fresh wind slabs are expected to be reactive to rider triggers.

Monitor changing conditions as you gain elevation and shift aspect.

Confidence

Moderate

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

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported, however, observations are currently limited.

Snowpack Summary

By Monday afternoon up to 25 cm of new snow may have fallen over wind affected surfaces at upper elevations from recent southwest winds. Rising temperatures and rain will wet the recent snowfall to around 1800 m.

A persistent weak layer sits below, present as crust and facets at treeline and above, and a combination of crust and surface hoar in sheltered features and lower elevations.

The mid/lower snowpack is generally well settled and strong. Snowpack depth ranges between 150 to 250 cm at treeline elevations.

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

Weather Summary

Sunday Night
Cloudy. 10 to 15 cm of snow. 50 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C. Freezing level 1400 m.

Monday
Cloudy. 4 to 10 cm of snow. 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C. Freezing level rises to 1800 m.

Tuesday
Mostly cloudy. 2 to 3 mm of rain at treeline. 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 2 °C. Freezing level 2200 m.

Wednesday
Mix of sun and clouds. 1 mm of rain at treeline. 50 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 6 °C. Freezing level 2700 m.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
  • A moist or wet snow surface, pinwheeling, and natural avalanches are all indicators of a weakening snowpack.

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.

Loose Wet

Loose Wet avalanches are the release of wet unconsolidated snow or slush. These avalanches typically occur within layers of wet snow near the surface of the snowpack, but they may quickly gouge into lower snowpack layers. Like Loose Dry Avalanches, they start at a point and entrain snow as they move downhill, forming a fan-shaped avalanche. Other names for loose-wet avalanches include point-release avalanches or sluffs. Loose Wet avalanches can trigger slab avalanches that break into deeper snow layers.
