Regions

Northwest Inland, Seven Sisters, Howson, Kispiox, Microwave-Sinclair, Ningunsaw.

Carefully verify conditions .

Avalanche hazard is expected to increase throughout the day. Choose low consequence terrain and be prepared to dial back your objective.

Confidence

Moderate

  • Uncertainty is due to the limited number of field observations.
  • Uncertainty is due to how the snowpack will react to the forecast weather.

Avalanche Summary

Numerous size 1.5 to 2 avalanches were reported on Wednesday but details are limited. In general, observations are limited in this region.

If you're headed into the backcountry please consider filling out a Mountain Information Network report.

Snowpack Summary

An additional 20 to 30 cm of storm snow is expected by Saturday afternoon. This new snow will be accompanied by strong southerly wind, forming deeper deposits in north and east facing features.

A layer of surface hoar is found down around 50 to 100 cm in sheltered treeline features. Below treeline, a crust is found at this interface.

The mid and lower snowpack is well settled with no current layers of concern. Treeline snow depths throughout the region range from 150 cm to 250 cm.

Weather Summary

Friday Night
Cloudy. 10 to 15 cm of snow. 40 to 70 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C.

Saturday
Cloudy. 15 to 20 cm of snow. 40 to 70 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C.

Sunday
Cloudy. 15 to 20 cm of snow at treeline, rain below. 50 to 70 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 0 °C.

Monday
Cloudy. 10 to 20 cm of snow at treeline, rain below. 40 to 60 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 1 °C.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Don't let storm day fever lure you into consequential terrain.
  • Watch for fresh storm slabs building throughout the day.
  • Storm slab size and sensitivity to triggering will likely increase through the day.
  • Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind-affected terrain.

Problems

Storm Slabs

Storm Slab avalanches are the release of a cohesive layer (a slab) of new snow that breaks within new snow or on the old snow surface. Storm-slabs typically last between a few hours and few days (following snowfall). Storm-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.
