Regions

Microwave-Sinclair, North Bulkley, South Bulkley, Telkwa.

Avalanches are unlikely, but could be possible in extreme terrain or in very isolated areas.

Confidence

High

  • Confidence is due to a stable weather pattern with little change expected.

Avalanche Summary

January 16-20

  • No new avalanches reported but observations are limited. Consider submitting a report to the MIN if you are out in the mountains.

January 15

  • Several large (size 2-2.5) windslab avalanches where reported, likely from a few days earlier.

  • These wind slabs where naturally triggered during the recent storm cycle with a few of them being triggered by cornice failures.

Snowpack Summary

The snow surface is highly wind-affected in exposed alpine terrain. At lower elevations, a surface crust overlies moist snow.

Below approximately 1600 m, the surface crust is up to 20 cm thick and poses additional slip-and-fall hazards.

A layer of facets is buried around 50 to 100 cm deep and is slowly gaining strength.

The mid and lower snowpack have no layers of concern. Snowpack depths are generally around 150-200 cm deep at treeline.
