Regions

Coquihalla, Manning, Skagit.

A variety of surfaces exist from recent sun, cold temperatures, and wind.

While the best riding is likely in sheltered terrain, the possibility of sluffing still exists.

Confidence

High

  • We are confident due to a stable weather pattern.

Avalanche Summary

A few natural wind slabs were observed in steep, north facing  terrain on Sunday. No other recent avalanches have been observed.

If you are heading into the backcountry, please consider sharing your observations with the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

20 to 40 cm of recent storm snow, that was accompanied by light to moderate southwest wind, overlies the early February crust/facet layer. The snow surface is faceting in the cold temperatures but may become sun-affected on south-facing slopes.

Another widespread crust/facet layer from late January is buried 30 to 60 cm deep.

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

In forested areas, a light dusting of new snow overlies hard melt-freeze lumps creating very difficult travel conditions.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be aware of the potential for loose avalanches in steep terrain where snow hasn't formed a slab.
  • Make observations and continually assess conditions as you travel.
