Regions

South Coast, Powell River, North Shore, Tetrahedron.

Recent snow may remain reactive at upper elevtions. Be mindful that sunshine can have a powerful effect on stability - and your desire to push into aggressive terrain.

Confidence

Low

  • We are uncertain about alpine conditions due to limited field observations.

Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanche activity has been reported.

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

Snowpack Summary

Wind transport of 30 to 40 cm of recent storm snow has likely been limited by a thin, near-surface crust, as described in this MIN report. If this crust tapers out before mountaintop, expect variable distribution of wind-transported snow.

The recent snow sits over a thick, widespread crust. Below, the snowpack is generally settled and well-bonded.

Weather Summary

Friday Night
Mostly clear skies. 20 km/h northwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -6 °C.

Saturday
Mostly sunny. 20 km/h northwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -6 °C.

Sunday
Mostly cloudy. 5 to 10 cm of snow. 20 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -6 °C.

Monday
Cloudy. 90 to 120 mm of rain at treeline. 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -1 °C. Freezing level 1600 m.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be alert to conditions that change with elevation and sun exposure.
  • Be careful with wind-loaded pockets, especially near ridge crests and rollovers.
  • Make observations and continually assess conditions as you travel.

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.
