Regions: Northwest Inland.

There is very little information available for this region at this time. The few reports we have suggest there is little snow across the region. I have removed the Danger ratings until we get more information.

Confidence

Poor - Due to the number of field observations

Weather Forecast

Overnight and Tuesday: Strong Southwest winds are expected overnight. Some light precipitation during the day as wind speeds drop and become more westerly. Wednesday: Continued light precipitation, increasing Southwest winds and freezing levels dropping to about 500 metres.Thursday: Strong Southwest winds and very light precipitation.

Avalanche Summary

The parts of this region that traditionally get the most snow are reporting that their snowpack is still very shallow and that avalanches are unlikely due to lack of snow.

Snowpack Summary

The few reports we have received suggest there is little snow across the region. One operator is reporting 50cms of snow at 1100m. The region has seen its fair share of wind in the past week and spatial variability in snow depth likely exists. By and large, most of the region is below threshold except for where the wind may have re-distributed snow into pockets of wind slabs. Keep in mind these pockets of snow that may be enticing to ride are the same slopes that may be the most likely to slide. 

Avalanche Problems

Wind Slabs

There is very little snow in the region. There has been previous wind effect, and old wind slabs may continue to persist in some isolated locations.
Be cautious as you transition into wind affected terrain. Slopes where the snow is deep enough to ride may also be the most likely to slide.>

Aspects: North, North East, East, South East.

Elevations: Alpine, Treeline.

Likelihood: Possible

Expected Size: 1 - 2
