Regions

South Coast, Homathko, Powell River, Tantalus, North Shore, Sasquatch, Sky Pilot, Tetrahedron.

Precipitation continues as freezing levels fall.

Carefully assess the bond of the new snow to the underlying surface.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain if precipitation will fall as rain or snow.

Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanche activity has been reported, however we expect that the warm temperatures and high freezing levels have caused a loose wet cycle.

If you head out, please consider posting your observations to the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

The snow has been rain-soaked to mountain top, as the freezing levels begin to drop, we expect a surface crust to form. Much of the lower elevation snowpack is likely isothermal.

The mid and lower snowpack are generally strong and well-bonded.

Typical treeline snow depths range from 100 to 150 cm, and thins quickly below treeline, especially on south-facing slopes.

Weather Summary

Saturday Night
Cloudy. 25 to 30 mm of rain. 50 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 1 °C. Freezing level 1600 m falling to 1200 m.

Sunday
Mostly sunny. 1 to 3 cm of snow. 40 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C. Freezing level 1000 m.

Monday
Mostly cloudy. 5 to 10 cm of snow. 30 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -7°C.

Tuesday
Mostly cloudy. 15 to 20 cm of snow. 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -7 °C.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be alert to conditions that change with elevation, aspect, and exposure to wind.
  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.

Problems

Storm Slabs

Storm Slab avalanches are the release of a cohesive layer (a slab) of new snow that breaks within new snow or on the old snow surface. Storm-slabs typically last between a few hours and few days (following snowfall). Storm-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.
