Regions

South Coast, Powell River, North Shore, Sasquatch, Tetrahedron.

Avalanche danger is expected to rise throughout the day; plan and adapt accordingly.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are confident the likelihood of avalanches will increase with the forecast weather.
  • We are uncertain due to a limited number of field observations.

Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanche activity has been reported.

If you head out, please consider posting your observations to the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

Significant snowfall is expected on Tuesday, burying a widespread crust formed during last weekend’s rain.

Below this recently formed crust, the snowpack is generally settled and well-bonded.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Watch for fresh storm slabs building throughout the day.
  • Make observations and continually assess conditions as you travel.

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.
