Regions

Vancouver Island, East Island, North Island, South Island, West Island.

A widespread HARD crust makes travel conditions quick, but slips more consequential.

Seek out direct sun-facing slopes in the afternoon.

Confidence

High

  • We are confident due to a stable weather pattern.

Avalanche Summary

No avalanche activity has been reported on Vancouver Island. Until the high-pressure pattern changes, we expect activity to remain dormant.

Snowpack Summary

A hard surface crust caps a moist and well-settled snowpack.

Treeline snow height is roughly 100 cm. Below treeline is diminished to below threshold.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
  • Avalanche danger will increase as the surface crust breaks down.
