Regions

South Coast Inland, Birkenhead, Duffey, South Chilcotin, Stein, Taseko.

Continually assess conditions throughout the day.

Conditions will vary from aspect to aspect and from morning to afternoon.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain due to the variability of wind effect on the snowpack.

Avalanche Summary

Over the last 3 days a few size 1 skier triggered wind slabs have been reported. These Avalanches occurred at treeline or in the alpine near ridge crests.

Several small natural cornice falls were also reported, details on these avalanches are limited.

Snowpack Summary

15 to 30 cm of recent snow sits over a crust/facet layer formed earlier this month. Deeper deposits will be found on north and east aspects and the crust may be on the surface on exposed ridges due to strong southerly wind. The snow surface is expected to become moist on sun exposed slopes during the day.

A widespread crust and facet layer from late January is buried 25 to 50 cm deep.

The mid to lower snowpack is generally well settled and strong. Snowpack depth ranges from 150 to 250 cm at treeline elevations.

Weather Summary

Tuesday Night
Clear skies. 10 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -6 °C.

Wednesday
Sunny. 20 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.

Thursday
Mostly sunny. 60 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.

Friday
Mostly cloudy. 2 to 4 cm of snow. 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -7 °C.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be careful as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
  • Be alert to conditions that change with elevation, aspect, and exposure to wind.
  • Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
  • Loose avalanches may start small, but they can grow and push you into dangerous terrain.

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.

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.
