Regions

South Coast, North Shore, Sasquatch, Tetrahedron.

Keep an eye on the snow surface and step back from steep lines when the snow surface feels wet.

Natural and rider triggered avalanches are possible due to solar input and high freezing level.

Confidence

Moderate

  • Uncertainty is due to rapidly fluctuating freezing levels.

Avalanche Summary

No avalanches have been reported in several days.

Snowpack Summary

Early in the morning a new surface crust could be found in the alpine and on north aspects at treeline. This crust will likely breakdown as the freezing level rises and solar input increases.

In some areas, a temperature crust formed on Christmas Eve can be found 20–30 cm below the surface.

The Mid December crust is found down 1 to 2 meters. In general the snowpack is right-side up and well settled.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Back off slopes as the surface becomes moist or wet with rising temperatures.
  • Rocks will heat up with daytime warming and may become trigger points for loose wet avalanches.

Problems

Loose Wet

Loose Wet avalanches are the release of wet unconsolidated snow or slush. These avalanches typically occur within layers of wet snow near the surface of the snowpack, but they may quickly gouge into lower snowpack layers. Like Loose Dry Avalanches, they start at a point and entrain snow as they move downhill, forming a fan-shaped avalanche. Other names for loose-wet avalanches include point-release avalanches or sluffs. Loose Wet avalanches can trigger slab avalanches that break into deeper snow layers.
