Regions

North Bulkley, South Bulkley, Telkwa.

Human-triggered avalanches are possible on north-facing slopes.

Use caution as you enter wind-affected terrain.

Confidence

High

  • We have a good understanding of the snowpack structure and confidence in the weather forecast.

Avalanche Summary

While observations have been limited, small pockets of reactive wind slabs may persist atop the widespread crust.

Be sure to post your observations to the MIN if you get out; they are a big help!

Snowpack Summary

A widespread, supportive crust exists on or just below the surface across most terrain, except in some high-alpine areas. Over the last week, southerly winds have redistributed up to 20 cm of recent snow into deeper pockets at higher elevations, while exposed areas have been scoured back to the crust.

In sheltered terrain near treeline, surface hoar may be present on the crust and buried by recent snow.

There are no current layers of concern in the mid or lower snowpack.

Weather Summary

Friday Night
Mostly clear. 10 km/h northwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -7 °C.

Saturday
Sunny. 20 km/h northwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -7 °C.

Sunday
Mix of sun and clouds. 40 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -6 °C.

Monday
Mostly cloudy. 4 to 5 cm of snow. 20 km/h southeast ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -7 °C.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.

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.
