Regions

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

Avalanche hazard is low with generally safe avalanche conditions.

Use normal caution, apply good travel habits, and reduce your exposure to cornice hazard when possible.

Confidence

High

  • We are confident due to a stable weather pattern.

Avalanche Summary

A few small, natural cornice falls were observed on Tuesday. These cornices fell in steep, unskiable terrain and did not trigger a slab on the slope below. No new slab avalanches have been reported in the past 3 days.

Snowpack Summary

A melt-freeze crust, with surface hoar above it, extends up to at least 1600 m on all aspects and as high as 2500 m on solar aspects. On north aspects in the alpine, dry wind-affected snow may still be found. The snow surface is expected to become moist on sun exposed slopes.

Cornices are large and overhanging.

A crust/facet layer from mid-December exists in the mid snowpack. Triggering this layer is unlikely, except with large loads or in thin snowpack areas.

Weather Summary

Wednesday Night
Clear skies. 10 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -7 °C.

Thursday
Sunny. 20 km/h east ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -10 °C.

Friday
Sunny. 30 to 50 km/h north ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -13 °C.

Saturday
Sunny. 30 to 40 km/h northwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -11 °C.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
  • A hard crust on the snow surface will help strengthen the snowpack, but may cause tough travel conditions.
  • Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
  • Be alert to conditions that change with elevation and sun exposure.
  • Make observations and continually assess conditions as you travel.
