Regions

South Coast, North Shore, Sasquatch, Tetrahedron.

Natural and human triggered avalanches are unlikely.

Stepping out into big terrain with good travel habits and group management is appropriate.

Confidence

Moderate

  • The snowpack structure is generally well understood.
  • Uncertainty is due to difficult to forecast freezing levels.

Avalanche Summary

On Tuesday, small wet loose avalanches and sluffing was observed on solar aspects.

Snowpack Summary

Early in the morning a new surface crust could exist, this crust may breakdown as the freezing level rises and solar input increases.

In some areas, a crust formed on Christmas Eve can be found 30 to 50 cm below the surface.

The Mid December crust is found down 1 to 2 meters. In general the snowpack is right-side up and well settled.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Back off slopes as the surface becomes moist or wet with rising temperatures.
  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
