Regions

Coquihalla, Harrison-Fraser, Manning, Skagit.

Watch for changing conditions as you gain elevation. Storm snow is expected to remain reactive to human triggers.

Confidence

Moderate

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

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported, however a small natural cycle may have taken place at higher elevations with new snow/wind/rain.

Snowpack Summary

Recent snowfall has totaled 20-40 cm, tapering to a rain-soaked surface below about 1500 m. New snow has accumulated over a widespread crust, and wind-affected dry snow on north-facing slopes above 2200 m.

The mid to lower snowpack is generally well settled and strong. Snowpack depth ranges from 100 to 250 cm at treeline elevations.

Weather Summary

Sunday Night
Partly cloudy. 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -5 °C.

Monday
Cloudy. 4 to 10 cm of snow. 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -6 °C.

Tuesday
Mostly cloudy. 2 to 25 cm of snow. 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -5 °C.

Wednesday
Sunny. 10 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Continue to make conservative terrain choices while the storm snow settles and stabilizes.
  • Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind-affected terrain.

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.
