Regions

Cariboos, North Columbia, Blue River, McBride, Premier, Sugarbowl, Clemina, North Monashee, McGregor, Renshaw, Robson.

Watch for wind slabs on steep alpine terrain features.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain about alpine conditions due to limited field observations.

Avalanche Summary

Very limited avalanche activity was reported since last week. A few small (size 1) dry loose avalanches were reactive to riders over the weekend, and one natural size 2 wind slab was observed on a north-facing slope in the Rockies.

Snowpack Summary

Spring flurries are creating variable accumulations, with 10 to 40 cm of low-density snow in sheltered areas.

A thick crust is buried 30 to 70 cm deep, but may remain exposed in wind-scoured alpine terrain. It extends up to at least 2000 m in the Rockies and 2300 m in the North Thompson.

Below the crust, the snowpack is strong and well bonded.

Weather Summary

Tuesday Night

Partly cloudy. 20 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -6 °C.

Wednesday

Mix of sun and clouds. 0 to 2 cm of snow. 20 km/h southeast ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C.

Thursday

Mix of sun and clouds. 10 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -1 °C. Freezing level 1800 m.

Friday

Mostly cloudy. 1 to 4 cm of snow. 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -1 °C. Freezing level 1800 m.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Carefully evaluate steep lines for wind slabs.
  • Investigate the bond of the recent snow before committing to your line.
  • Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.

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.
