Expect changing conditions as you gain elevation. Wind slabs may remain reactive around ridgelines while wet avalanches are possible at low elevations.

Confidence

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

During the recent storm avalanches were observed to size 3. On Saturday small wet loose avalanches were reported from steep terrain.

Snowpack Summary

Above 1000 m, 30 to 50 cm of moist, settling snow sits over a crust. In exposed terrain, southerly winds have redistributed the recent snow into deeper deposits on northerly aspects.

At lower elevations, the rain-saturated snowpack tapers quickly with elevation.

For more details on the North Shore snowpack, check out this video from Friday.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be alert to conditions that change with elevation and sun exposure.
  • Avoid steep, sun-exposed slopes when the air temperature is warm or when solar radiation is strong.
  • Be careful with wind-loaded pockets, especially near ridge crests and rollovers.

Avalanche Problems

Wind Slabs

Deeper deposits of recent storm snow may remain reactive on northerly aspects. Slabs may be dry or moist.

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

Elevations: Alpine, Treeline.

Likelihood: Possible

Expected Size: 1 - 2

Loose Wet

Wet loose avalanches are possible in the new snow on slopes that receive strong sunshine on Monday, and in rain-soaked snow at lower elevations where temperatures remain above zero.

Aspects: All aspects.

Elevations: All elevations.

Likelihood: Possible - Likely

Expected Size: 1 - 2
