Regions

Yukon, Tutshi, Wheaton, White Pass East, White Pass West, Haines Pass, Chilkat Pass.

Be cautious in steep, wind-affected terrain where triggering slabs is most likely.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain due to a limited number of field observations.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported in the past few days.

If you head out in the backcountry, let us know what you're seeing by submitting a MIN report.

Snowpack Summary

A dusting of new snow overlies heavily wind-affected surfaces in open areas at all elevations. Up to 50 cm of soft snow can be found in sheltered areas.

A mid-February crust or facet layer sits 50 to 70 cm deep, and the late January crust/surface hoar layer is buried 50 to 100 cm deep. These layers have shown no recent reactivity.

Facets or depth hoar exist at the base of the snowpack and may be a concern in inland areas, where the snowpack is generally shallower.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Watch for signs of slab formation throughout the day.
  • Avoid travelling on slopes below cornices.

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.
