Regions

Coquihalla, Harrison-Fraser, Manning, Skagit.

Continually assess conditions throughout the day.

Conditions will vary from aspect to aspect and from morning to afternoon.

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 recent snow sits over a crust/facet layer formed earlier this month. Deeper deposits will be found on north and east aspects and the crust may be on the surface on exposed ridges due to strong southerly wind. The snow surface is expected to become moist on sun exposed slopes during the day.

The mid to lower snowpack is generally well settled and strong. Snowpack depth ranges from 100 to 250 cm at treeline elevations.

Weather Summary

Tuesday Night
Clear skies. 10 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C.

Wednesday
Sunny. 10 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C. Freezing level 1400 m.

Thursday
Mix of sun and clouds. 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C.

Friday
Mostly cloudy. 4 to 10 cm of snow. 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -5 °C.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
  • Be careful with wind-loaded pockets, especially near ridge crests and rollovers.
  • Be alert to conditions that change with aspect and elevation.
  • Loose avalanches may start small, but they can grow and push you into dangerous 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.

Loose Wet

Loose Wet avalanches are the release of wet unconsolidated snow or slush. These avalanches typically occur within layers of wet snow near the surface of the snowpack, but they may quickly gouge into lower snowpack layers. Like Loose Dry Avalanches, they start at a point and entrain snow as they move downhill, forming a fan-shaped avalanche. Other names for loose-wet avalanches include point-release avalanches or sluffs. Loose Wet avalanches can trigger slab avalanches that break into deeper snow layers.
