Regions

South Coast, Powell River, North Shore, Sasquatch, Tetrahedron.

Retreat to mellower terrain if you are seeing signs of instability or rapid loading from new snow and wind.

Avalanche danger will increase through the day as new snow piles up.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain due to the track and intensity of the incoming weather system.
  • The snowpack structure is well understood.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported.

If you are heading into the backcountry, consider sharing your observations and posting a MIN.

Snowpack Summary

30-40 cm of new snow is expected to accumulate at treeline and above by the end of the day on Wednesday. Moderate to strong South or Southeast winds will make deeper, denser deposits in leeward terrain.

Steep south through west facing slopes may have a thin, breakable crust under the new snow.

The thick and strong mid-March crust is now expected to be buried by 50-60 cm of mostly settled snow.

Below this, the rest of the snowpack is wet but well settled and strong.

There is little to no snow below 1000 m.

Weather Summary

Tuesday Night

Mostly cloudy. 5 to 15 mm of precipitation as snow or rain at treeline. 30 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 0 °C. Freezing level 1300 m.

Wednesday

Cloudy. 25 cm of snow. 30-50 km/h southeast ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C. Freezing level 1100 m.

Thursday

Mostly cloudy. 2 to 10 mm of precipitation as snow or rain at treeline. 10 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 0 °C. Freezing level 1300 m.

Friday

Mostly cloudy. 2 to 4 mm of precipitation as snow or rain at treeline. 20 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -1 °C. Freezing level 1100 m.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avalanche danger is expected to increase throughout the day.
  • Avoid avalanche terrain during periods of heavy loading from new snow, wind, or rain.
  • Use caution above cliffs and terrain traps where even small avalanches may have severe consequences.

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.
