Avalanche Problems

Persistent Slabs

Recent natural avalanche activity has declined but this snowpack weakness remains very touchy and easily collapses with skier presence.

Aspects: All aspects.

Elevations: Alpine, Treeline.

Likelihood: Possible - Likely

Expected Size: 1 - 4

Wind Slabs

Snowflurries have deposited up to 24 cm overnight in the icefields area. SW winds are creating new wind slabs primarily in the alpine and exposed treeline locations.

Aspects: North, North East, East, South East, South.

Elevations: Alpine, Treeline.

Likelihood: Possible

Expected Size: 1 - 3

Storm Slabs

If the sun comes out, southerly facing slopes may produce soft slab and loose snow avalanches.

Aspects: North, North East, East, South East, South, South West.

Elevations: Alpine, Treeline.

Likelihood: Possible

Expected Size: 1 - 3
