Regions

South Coast, Powell River, North Shore, Sasquatch, Sasquatch, Tetrahedron.

Travel cautiously, as the snowpack remains shallow. Even small avalanches can pose serious hazards when terrain traps such as cliffs are present.

Confidence

Low

Avalanche Summary

No avalanches have been reported. However, observations are limited.

If you're heading out into the backcountry, please consider sharing your observations on the MIN.

Snowpack Summary

Above treeline, an estimated 15 to 25 cm of dry snow sits on a thick crust that extends to the ground. The snowpack is around 30 to 60 cm deep in the alpine, and shrinks rapidly below treeline.

In wind exposed areas, soft snow has likely been redistributed into lee features.

Weather Summary

Wednesday Night

Cloudy. 4 cm of snow. 40 km/h northwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C. Freezing level 1000 m.

Thursday

Cloudy. 4 to 5 cm of snow. 30 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -1 °C. Freezing level 1300 m.

Friday

Cloudy. 40 to 50 mm of precipitation as snow or rain at treeline. 40 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 0 °C. Freezing level 1600 m.

Saturday

Mostly cloudy. 20 to 30 cm of snow. 50 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C. Freezing level 1300 m.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be cautious of buried obstacles, especially below treeline.
  • Use caution above cliffs and terrain traps where even small avalanches may have severe consequences.

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.
