Regions

Lizard-Flathead, South Rockies, Akamina, Bull, Crowsnest North, Crowsnest South, Elkford East, Elkford West.

Watch for unstable snow on isolated terrain features where pockets of dry snow sit over a weak layer.

Confidence

High

  • We are confident due to a stable weather pattern.

Avalanche Summary

In the warm temperatures on Thursday and Friday, small natural and skier-triggered loose wet avalanches were reported on solar aspects.

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

Snowpack Summary

A dusting of new snow falls over mostly crusty surfaces. The old surface may remain dry on the highest north aspects and moist at low elevations.

A widespread melt-freeze crust sits up to 10 cm deep, ranging in thickness from 5 to 20 cm, with facets below. This layer is expected to become a concern as it gets buried.

The mid and lower snowpack is generally well settled, with no significant concerns.

Tuesday
Mix of sun and clouds. 2 cm of snow. 40 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -8 °C.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
  • Wind slabs are isolated, but may remain reactive.

Problems

Wind Slabs

Wind Slab avalanches are the release of a cohesive layer of snow (a slab) formed by the wind. Wind typically transports snow from the upwind sides of terrain features and deposits snow on the downwind side. Wind slabs are often smooth and rounded and sometimes sound hollow, and can range from soft to hard. Wind 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.
