Confidence

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

Reports have been very limited during the recent stormy period. Several wet loose avalanches were reported across the region over the past few days, generally in the small (size 1-1.5) range.

We expect recently accumulated storm slabs will be reactive on Sunday.

Snowpack Summary

Above 1000 m, 30 to 50 cm of snow from Saturday blankets a developing crust over a rain-soaked snowpack. At wind-exposed elevations, southerly wind has likely redistributed the recent snow into deeper deposits on northerly aspects.

At lower elevations, the rain-saturated snowpack tapers quickly with elevation.

For more details on the North Shore snowpack, check out this video from Friday.

Weather Summary

Saturday

Mostly clear. 10 to 30 km/h south ridgetop winds. Treeline temperature 0 °C. Freezing level rising to 1700 m.

Sunday

Sunny. 30 to 40 km/h southeast ridgetop winds. Treeline temperature +2 °C. Freezing level rising to 1800 m.

Monday

Cloudy with 5 to 15 cm of snow. 20 to 40 km/h variable ridgetop winds. Treeline temperature -3 °C. Freezing level 1500 m.

Tuesday

A mix of sun and cloud. 20 to 40 km/h northwest ridgetop winds. Treeline temperature -3 °C. Freezing level around 1400 m.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be alert to conditions that change with elevation and sun exposure.
  • Avoid steep, sun-exposed slopes when the air temperature is warm or when solar radiation is strong.
  • Keep your guard up as storm slabs may remain sensitive to human triggering.

Avalanche Problems

Storm Slabs

Recent storm slabs may remain reactive to rider triggers, especially in deeper wind deposits on northerly aspects.

Aspects: All aspects.

Elevations: Alpine, Treeline.

Likelihood: Possible - Likely

Expected Size: 1 - 2.5

Loose Wet

Wet loose avalanches are possible in he new snow on steep sun exposed slopes, and in rain-soaked snow at lower elevations where temperatures remain above zero.

Aspects: All aspects.

Elevations: All elevations.

Likelihood: Possible - Likely

Expected Size: 1 - 2
