Early season conditions prevail but avalanche hazard exists -- assess for wind slabs in lee terrain features.

Avalanche Summary

No avalanche activity has been reported. Please consider sharing any observations you may have via the Mountain Information Network to help us and fellow recreationists.

Snowpack Summary

A thin snowpack exists in most areas, with 50 cm found at White Pass. Upwards of 100 cm may be found in wind-loaded areas. Wind slabs may be found in lee terrain features in the alpine from 10 cm of recent snow and southwest wind.

The thin early-season coverage means many other hazards exist, such as exposed and thinly buried rocks, buried logs, open creeks, and weak lake ice.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Carefully evaluate steep lines for wind slabs.
  • Watch for signs of slab formation throughout the day.

Avalanche Problems

Wind Slabs

Wind slabs may be found in lee terrain features from recent snow and southwest wind. Also assess for slab development in sheltered terrain, although a cooling trend may slow this process.

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

Elevations: Alpine, Treeline.

Likelihood: Possible

Expected Size: 1 - 2
