There may be some lingering wind slabs in exposed, alpine terrain, but the primary concern in the snowpack is a weak layer of surface hoar (feathery crystals) and sun crust on steeper south facing slopes. This layer is down 30-70 cm. The surface hoar is most prominent at treeline, but it may exist in sheltered alpine areas.At the base of the snowpack is a crust that formed in late October. There have been no reports of reactivity on this layer in the Cariboos, however, this layer may be reactive in isolated locations such as steep, rocky terrain, with a shallow snowpack. Small avalanches could have the potential to step down to this crust resulting in large, destructive avalanchesSnowpack depths decrease dramatically with elevation where rocks, stumps, and open creeks remain significant hazards.There are limited snowpack observations within this region, so it is critical to supplement this information with your own observations.
