Regions

Sea To Sky, Brandywine, Garibaldi, Homathko, Spearhead, Tantalus.

Watch for changing conditions as you gain elevation. Storm snow is expected to remain reactive to human triggers.

Confidence

Moderate

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

Avalanche Summary

Reports from the last 3 days show storm slab reactivity to human triggers producing size 1 avalanches. Activity has mostly been observed near ridgelines, on lee slopes.

Snowpack Summary

By Monday afternoon, storm totals are expected to reach 30-50 cm above treeline. Snowfall continues to accumulate over a widespread crust, thickest on south facing slopes.

A widespread crust and facets from late January are buried 40-80 cm deep. The mid and lower snowpack are well settled and strong.

Weather Summary

Sunday Night
Mostly clear skies. 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.

Monday
Cloudy. 4 to 10 cm of snow. 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -5 °C.

Tuesday
Mostly cloudy. 10 to 20 cm of snow. 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.

Wednesday
Mostly sunny. 20 km/h northwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be alert to conditions that change with elevation, aspect, and exposure to wind.
  • Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind-affected terrain.

Problems

Storm Slabs

Storm Slab avalanches are the release of a cohesive layer (a slab) of new snow that breaks within new snow or on the old snow surface. Storm-slabs typically last between a few hours and few days (following snowfall). Storm-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.
