Regions

Coquihalla, Harrison-Fraser, Manning, Skagit.

Avalanche hazard is low, though a widespread surface crust may soften at times.

Maintain good travel habits, and back off steep terrain if moist or wet surface snow is observed.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain about how the timing or intensity of solar radiation will affect the snowpack.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported in the area.

Snowpack Summary

A widespread crust has formed on the surface. Above 1800 m this crust overlies a rapidly settling upper snowpack.

Below this, a variable (robust to breakable) crust sits over a facet layer at treeline and above.

The mid/lower snowpack is generally well settled and strong.

Snowpack depth ranges between 100 to 250 cm at treeline elevations.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
  • A moist or wet snow surface, pinwheeling, and natural avalanches are all indicators of a weakening snowpack.

Problems

Cornices

Cornice Fall is the release of an overhanging mass of snow that forms as the wind moves snow over a sharp terrain feature, such as a ridge, and deposits snow on the downwind (leeward) side. Cornices range in size from small wind drifts of soft snow to large overhangs of hard snow that are 30 feet (10 meters) or taller. They can break off the terrain suddenly and pull back onto the ridge top and catch people by surprise even on the flat ground above the slope. Even small cornices can have enough mass to be destructive and deadly. Cornice Fall can entrain loose surface snow or trigger slab avalanches.
