Regions

South Coast, North Shore, Tetrahedron.

Ongoing snowfall and wind are keeping the danger rating elevated.

Seek simple avalanche terrain with no overhead hazards.

Confidence

Moderate

  • Uncertainty is due to the limited number of field observations.
  • Forecast snowfall amounts are uncertain.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported in the past week.

If you are heading into the backcountry, please consider sharing your observations via the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

Up to 60 cm of new storm snow overlies a previously saturated and wet upper snowpack.

The mid and lower snowpack, has two distinct crusts that can be found between 50 and 150 cm in depth. Currently these crusts are not raising concerns.

The snowpack is generally well settled and dense.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Continue to make conservative terrain choices while the storm snow settles and stabilizes.
  • Keep your guard up as storm slabs may remain sensitive to human triggering.

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.
