Regions

Cariboos, North Columbia, Blue River, Clearwater, McBride, Premier, Quesnel, Sugarbowl, Clemina, North Monashee, McGregor, Renshaw, Robson.

Assess the bond between wind slabs and the underlying crust before committing to steep terrain.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain about alpine conditions due to limited field observations.

Avalanche Summary

Very limited avalanche activity was reported over the weekend. A few small (size 1) dry loose avalanches were reactive to riders, along with one size 2 wind slab on a north-facing slope in the Rockies.

Snowpack Summary

Up to 15 cm of recent snow overlies wind-hardened snow, wind slabs, and sun crusts.

A thick crust from the recent atmospheric river is now buried 30 to 60 cm deep, but may remain exposed in wind-scoured alpine terrain. It extends up to at least 2000 m in the Rockies and 2300 m in the North Thompson.

Below the crust, the snowpack is strong and well bonded.

Weather Summary

Monday Night

Partly cloudy. 20 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -10 °C.

Tuesday

Mostly cloudy. 0 to 1 cm of snow. 20 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -6 °C.

Wednesday

Mostly cloudy. 1 to 2 cm of snow. 30 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C.

Thursday

Mostly sunny. 10 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -1 °C. Freezing level 1900 m.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be careful as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
  • Investigate the bond of the recent snow before committing to your line.
  • Use extra caution around cornices: they are large, fragile, and can trigger slabs on slopes below.

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.
