Regions

Microwave-Sinclair, North Bulkley, South Bulkley, Telkwa.

Small wind slabs may exist in Leeward terrain features.

Use caution as you transition into wind-affected terrain.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain due to variable freezing levels.

Avalanche Summary

Numerous wet loose avalanches up to size 2.5 were reported at the Seaton riding area on Friday.

Observations are still limited, so be sure to post yours to the MIN if you get out!

Snowpack Summary

A few centimetres of new snow on Saturday night will overlie a crust formed by this week's warm temperatures and rain, extending to at least 1800 m.

In the alpine, wind slabs overlie a hard crust that extends up to 2300 m. Surface hoar can be found on this crust in some locations at treeline.

A second layer of facets or surface hoar is buried around 50 to 100 cm deep, and is considered unlikely to trigger at this point.

The mid and lower snowpack have no layers of concern. Snowpack depths are around 150-200 cm at treeline.

Weather Summary

Saturday Night
Partly cloudy. 3 to 5 cm of snow. 50 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C. Freezing level 1000 m.

Sunday
Mix of sun and clouds. 1 cm of snow. 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C.

Monday
Mix of sun and clouds. 3 to 5 cm of snow. 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C.

Tuesday
Mix of sun and clouds. 1 to 4 cm of snow. 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Wind slabs are isolated, but may remain reactive.
  • Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind-affected terrain.

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.
