Regions

Coquihalla, Harrison-Fraser, Manning, Skagit.

Assess steep north and east facing slopes for wind slab before committing

Dry snow can likely still be found on high north facing terrain, but this is also where avalanche hazard may be present

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain due to a limited number of field observations.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported in this region but observations have been limited.

Snowpack Summary

20 to 40 cm of storm snow is expected by late Saturday morning. This snow will overlie the early February crust/facet layer.

A widespread crust and facet layer from late January is buried 30 to 60 cm deep.

The mid and lower snowpack is generally well settled and strong.

Weather Summary

Friday Night
Cloudy. 5 to 10 cm of snow. 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -5 °C.

Saturday
Cloudy. 2 to 5 cm of snow. 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -7 °C.

Sunday
Mostly sunny. 10 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -6 °C.

Monday
Mix of sun and clouds. 20 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -6 °C.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be careful with wind-loaded pockets, especially near ridge crests and rollovers.
  • Be alert to conditions that change with aspect and elevation.
  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.

Problems

Wind Slabs

Wind Slab avalanches are the release of a cohesive layer of snow (a slab) formed by the wind. Wind typically transports snow from the upwind sides of terrain features and deposits snow on the downwind side. Wind slabs are often smooth and rounded and sometimes sound hollow, and can range from soft to hard. Wind 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.
