Avalanche Forecast

Fair

A ridge of high pressure dominates the conditions in the N. Coast Inland for the forecast period. Clear and cold conditions will persist.Wednesday: Clear, dry, daytime high temperatures at treeline -14 to -22C, mountaintop winds 40km/h NE decreasing during the day.Thursday/Friday: Clear, dry, daytime high temperatures at treeline -16 to -20C, mountaintop winds 20-30km/h SE-SW

No recent avalanches reported.

Thin windslabs may still exist in isolated leeward features on a variety of aspects at treeline and in the alpine while wind-exposed features have become heavily scoured.  Recent cold temperatures and clear skies are causing faceting of the upper snowpack which should be causing the remaining wind slabs to break-down.  In more sheltered areas, several centimetres of dry snow may overlie a melt-freeze crust, surface hoar, facets, or a combination of the above.  The mid and lower snowpack are generally well consolidated and there are currently no layers of concern. However, weak basal facets may still be a concern in isolated areas, especially thin snowpack areas at higher elevations.
