Regions

Coquihalla, Harrison-Fraser, Manning, Skagit.

Sheltered, shaded terrain holds the best riding and the lowest avalanche danger.

Space out to avoid exposing multiple people to a slope, and consider the risk of any fall in steep terrain.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain whether the wind will be enough to form new wind slabs.
  • We are uncertain due to a limited number of field observations.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported.

If you are heading into the backcountry, consider sharing your observations and posting a MIN.

Snowpack Summary

Expect to find 30-50 cm of settling snow above a widespread, thick, hard, and smooth crust that exists everywhere except the highest alpine terrain.

Steep south facing slopes may be crusty or moist depending on time of day and sun exposure.

Due to consistent wind through last week's storm, expect alpine ridgelines to be scoured and the snow above the crust to be deeper in leeward terrain, exceeding 2 meters in some terrain features.

The lower snowpack is generally strong and bonded.

Weather Summary

Monday Night

Mostly clear skies. 5-20 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -6 °C.

Tuesday

Mix of sun and clouds. 15 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C. Freezing level 1400 m.

Wednesday

Mostly cloudy. 1 to 5 cm of snow. 30 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C. Freezing level 1400 m.

Thursday

Mostly cloudy. 4 to 15 cm of snow. 20 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be alert to conditions that change with elevation, aspect, and exposure to wind.
  • Avoid terrain traps such as gullies and cliffs where the consequence of any avalanche could be serious.

Problems

Wind Slabs

Wind Slab avalanches are the release of a cohesive layer of snow (a slab) formed by the wind. Wind typically transports snow from the upwind sides of terrain features and deposits snow on the downwind side. Wind slabs are often smooth and rounded and sometimes sound hollow, and can range from soft to hard. Wind 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.
