Fresh wind slabs will form as new snow and wind bury a slippery crust.

Confidence

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanches have been reported. Looking forward, wind slab avalanches become increasingly likely as new snow accumulates.

Snowpack Summary

Up to 30 cm of recent snow sits on a widespread surface crust. Below, the upper snowpack is moist.

Several decomposing crusts may be found in the mid-snowpack. The most prominent was buried in late December and continues to produce snowpack test results. The remainder of the snowpack is dense and well-bonded.

Weather Summary

Tuesday Night

Cloudy with 5 to 15 cm of snow. 20 to 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.

Wednesday

Cloudy with 0 to 5 cm of snow. 10 to 20 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.

Thursday

Sunny. 20 to 40 km/h northeast ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -1 °C.

Friday

Partly cloudy. 20 to 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
  • Closely monitor how the new snow is bonding to the crust.

Avalanche Problems

Wind Slabs

New snow and wind could form reactive wind slabs in exposed terrain.

Aspects: North, North East, East, South East, North West.

Elevations: Alpine, Treeline.
