Regions

Coquihalla, Harrison-Fraser, Manning, Skagit.

Wind slabs may be triggerable in high north facing lees. Continually assess conditions as you move through terrain.

Confidence

Moderate

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

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported in this region but observations have been limited.

If you are heading into the backcountry, please consider sharing your observations with the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

20 to 40 cm of recent storm snow, that was accompanied by moderate southwest wind, overlies the early February crust/facet layer.

Another widespread crust/facet layer from late January is buried 30 to 60 cm deep.

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

Weather Summary

Sunday Night
Partly cloudy. 1 cm of snow. 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -8 °C.

Monday
Mostly cloudy. 1 to 5 cm of snow. 20 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -7 °C.

Tuesday
Mix of sun and clouds. 3 to 10 cm of snow. 20 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -8 °C.

Wednesday
Mostly cloudy. 2 to 4 cm of snow. 10 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -9 °C.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be careful with wind-loaded pockets, especially near ridge crests and rollovers.
  • Be alert to conditions that change with aspect and elevation.
  • Be aware of the potential for loose avalanches in steep terrain where snow hasn't formed a slab.

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.
