Regions: Little Yoho.

Small windslabs are still a problem in the alpine. Intense, localized, solar heating may create overhead hazard affecting skiers and ice climbers.

Weather Forecast

Clear skies with widespread temperature inversion are expected. 

Snowpack Summary

A great early season snowpack exceeding a meter in places. Surface hoar near the bottom has been unreactive in tests. Windslabs of varying thickness carpet the alpine.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported.

Confidence

Freezing levels are uncertain on Friday

Avalanche Problems

Wind Slabs

Small windslabs are possible in isolated locations, perhaps providing a surprise during otherwise good conditions. The main concern is for terrain traps (above cliffs, gullies) where small avalanches have bigger consequences.

  • Be careful with wind loaded pockets while approaching and climbing ice routes.

Aspects: All aspects.

Elevations: Alpine, Treeline.

Likelihood: Unlikely - Possible

Expected Size: 1 - 2
