Regions: North Okanagan, Shuswap, South Okanagan.

Storm slabs at upper elevations may be reactive to rider triggering.

Even brief periods of sunshine will affect the new snow and could trigger wet loose avalanches on slopes facing the sun.

Confidence

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches were reported Sunday.

New storm slabs may be reactive at higher elevations. When the sun comes out, expect conditions to change rapidly and natural wet loose avalanches are likely.

NOTE: Observations in this region are currently very limited.

Snowpack Summary

Up to 20 cm of new snow may exist above 1200 m. This sits above 20 cm of moist snow overlying a crust. At elevations below 1500 m, this snow is likely wet. Beneath this is a moist upper snowpack.

The mid/lower snowpack is well settled and strong.

Weather Summary

Monday Night

Cloudy with snow 10 to 20 cm. 25 to 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C. Freezing level falling to 1200 m.

Tuesday

Mix of sun and cloud. 10 to 20 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -1 °C. Freezing level 1800 m.

Wednesday

Cloudy with sunny periods. 5 to 20 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -1 °C. Freezing level 1500 m.

Thursday

Mix of sun and cloud. 15 to 25 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 0 °C. Freezing level 2500 m.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Keep your guard up as storm slabs may remain sensitive to human triggering.
  • Be careful as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
  • Be alert to conditions that change with aspect and elevation.
  • A moist or wet snow surface, pinwheeling, and natural avalanches are all indicators of a weakening snowpack.

Avalanche Problems

Storm Slabs

New and reactive storm slabs are building at upper elevations. With wind transported snow, these slabs are likely deeper on north through east aspects.

Aspects: All aspects.

Elevations: Alpine, Treeline.

Likelihood: Possible - Likely

Expected Size: 1 - 2

Loose Wet

Wet loose avalanches are likely on steep slopes during periods of warming and rain.

Aspects: South, South West, West.

Elevations: All elevations.

Likelihood: Likely

Expected Size: 1 - 1.5
