Cariboos, North Rockies, McBride, Premier, Quesnel, Sugarbowl, Kakwa, McGregor, Renshaw, Robson.

Avalanche likelihood and size will increase with incoming snow. Adjust your terrain choices to match the changing conditions.

Confidence

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanches have been reported, but observations are limited at this time of year.

Let us know what you are seeing by posting a MIN if you are heading out in the backcountry!

Snowpack Summary

Another 20 cm of new snow is expected by Thursday morning. This could lead to roughly 50 cm of recent snow in areas since last weekend. Moderate to strong westerly winds at higher elevations will redistribute this snow into deep pockets of wind-loaded snow.

In sheltered areas, a layer of preserved surface hoar may have been buried by recent snowfalls, likely at a depth of 30 to 50 cm.

Snow depths at treeline roughly range from 100 to 150 cm and decrease rapidly below treeline.

Weather Summary

Wednesday Night
Cloudy. 10 to 15 cm of snow. 40 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C. Freezing level 1100 m.

Thursday
Cloudy. 4 to 10 cm of snow. 40 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C. Freezing level 1200 m.

Friday
Mostly cloudy. 1 to 3 cm of snow. 10 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -6 °C.

Saturday
Mostly cloudy. 2 to 5 cm of snow. 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -8 °C.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Don't let storm day fever lure you into consequential terrain.
  • Be careful as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
  • Approach steep and open slopes at and below treeline cautiously, as buried surface hoar may exist.
  • Be cautious of buried obstacles, especially below treeline.

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.
