Regions

North Rockies, East Kakwa, Tumbler.

It's a good time to take advantage of the sunny weather and low danger to explore more complex objectives.

Continue to use normal caution in avalanche terrain.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain due to a limited number of field observations.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported. With the current conditions, triggering avalanches is unlikely.

There are few observations from this region. If you are getting out, please share observations like weather and riding conditions to the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

5 to 10 cm of recent snow may be covering a melt-freeze crust of variable thickness that is likely present to mountain top. At upper elevations, previous strong winds formed wind slabs that may remain triggerable in very isolated areas. At lower elevations and on sunny or windward slopes, the snow surface is likely crusty.

At treeline and below, a prominent crust buried in late January is potentially buried 10 to 20 cm.

The mid-December facet/crust layer is buried approximately 80 cm deep.

Weather Summary

Monday Night

Mostly clear skies. 60 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -6 °C.

Tuesday

Mostly cloudy. 1 to 4 cm of snow. 50 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -6 °C.

Wednesday

Mix of sun and clouds. 70 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -5 °C.

Thursday

Mix of sun and clouds. 60 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C. Freezing level 1400 m.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
  • Small avalanches can have serious consequences in extreme terrain. Carefully evaluate your line for slabs before you commit to it.
  • Periods of low danger may be a good time to increase your exposure.

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.
