Regions

Coquihalla, Harrison-Fraser, Manning, Skagit.

Watch for changing conditions as you shift aspect and elevation. Look for signs of active wind transport building fresh slabs.

Confidence

Moderate

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

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported, however a small natural cycle may have taken place at higher elevations with new snow and wind.

Snowpack Summary

Recent snowfall has totaled 20-40 cm at higher elevations, tapering to a crust below 1200 m. New snow has accumulated over a widespread crust, and wind-affected dry snow on north-facing slopes above 2200 m.

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

Weather Summary

Monday Night
Cloudy. 2 to 10 cm of snow. 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -5 °C.

Tuesday
Mostly cloudy. 5 cm of snow. 20 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -5 °C.

Wednesday
Sunny. 10 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C.

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

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.
