Regions

Where the precipitation is falling as snow, storm slab avalanches are likely.

If you find more than 40 cm of snow, treat the danger as HIGH.

Confidence

Low

  • We are uncertain if precipitation will fall as rain or snow.
  • We are uncertain due to variable freezing levels.
  • We are uncertain about forecast snowfall amounts.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanche activity has been reported.

Storm slab avalanche potential will increase over the day if forecasted heavy precipitation falls as snow.

Snowpack Summary

At higher elevations where precipitation falls as snow, a hard crust will be buried and become a sliding surface for storm slab avalanches. Below treeline and in thick trees, the snowpack will remain isothermal.

The mid and lower snowpack is strong and well settled. Average treeline snow depth is 70 to 150 cm. The snowpack tapers rapidly with elevation, especially on sun-facing slopes.

Weather Summary

Friday Night
Mostly cloudy. 5 to 15 mm of rain at treeline. 30 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 3 °C. Freezing level 1900 m.

Saturday
Cloudy. 45 to 50 mm of precipitation as snow or rain at treeline. 50 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 2 °C. Freezing level 1700 m.

Sunday
Mix of sun and clouds. 1 mm of precipitation as snow or rain at treeline. 20 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 0 °C. Freezing level 1300 m.

Monday
Mostly cloudy. 10 to 20 cm of snow. 20 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -1 °C. Freezing level 1100 m.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Watch for rapidly changing conditions during periods of heavy loading from new snow, wind, or rain.
  • Continue to make conservative terrain choices while the storm snow settles and stabilizes.
  • Storm slab size and sensitivity to triggering will likely increase through the day.

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.
