Regions

Cariboos, Blue River, Clearwater, McBride, Premier, Quesnel, Clemina, North Monashee, Renshaw, Robson.

Human-triggered avalanches are likely.

Use conservative terrain choices, even small slopes can produce avalanches.

Confidence

High

Avalanche Summary

Numerous natural and human-triggered avalanches have been reported on all aspects and elevations since Saturday.

Snowpack Summary

Up to 40 cm of snow overlies a variety of old surfaces. These include a crust on sun-exposed slopes, facets, and surface hoar in sheltered locations.

The middle snowpack consists of weak, faceted layers with multiple surface hoar and crusts intermixed.

The lower snowpack remains generally well-settled and strong.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be aware of the potential for human triggerable storm slabs at lower elevations, even on small features.
  • Continue to make conservative terrain choices while the storm snow settles and stabilizes.

Problems

Storm Slabs

Storm Slab avalanches are the release of a cohesive layer (a slab) of new snow that breaks within new snow or on the old snow surface. Storm-slabs typically last between a few hours and few days (following snowfall). Storm-slabs that form over a persistent weak layer (surface hoar, depth hoar, or near-surface facets) may be termed Persistent Slabs or may develop into Persistent Slabs.
