Regions

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

Assess steep north facing slopes for wind slab before committing.

Dry snow can likely still be found on high north facing terrain, but this is also where avalanche hazard may linger.

Confidence

Moderate

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

Avalanche Summary

Over the last 4 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 over the past couple days. Once of these cornices triggered a size 1 wind slab on the slope below.

Snowpack Summary

15 to 30 cm of recent snow sits over a crust/facet layer, formed earlier this month,  on north aspects. A new crust will likely be found on all other aspects, this crust may soften with solar input.

A widespread crust and facet layer from late January is buried 30 to 60 cm deep.

The mid and lower snowpack is generally well settled and strong.

Weather Summary

Friday
Mix of sun and clouds. 1 to 3 cm of snow. 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -7 °C.

Saturday
Mix of sun and clouds. 4 to 10 cm of snow. 20 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -8 °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.

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.
