Regions

South Coast, Powell River, North Shore, Tetrahedron.

Avalanche danger will increase today as new snow and wind form fresh slabs.

If you are seeing more than 20 cm of new snow by day's end, treat avalanche danger as one step higher.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain about forecast snowfall amounts.

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

10 cm of new snow falls over a thin crust, and possibly wind affected snow at higher elevations.

A thick, widespread crust is buried 30 to 40 cm deep. Below it, the snowpack is generally settled and well-bonded.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be alert to changing conditions throughout the day.
  • Avoid freshly wind-loaded terrain features.
  • Dial back your terrain choices if you are seeing more than 20 cm of new snow.

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.
