Regions

Glacier.

Cold temps will keep the surface of the snowpack crusty for the next couple of days.

Be prepared for rugged travel (especially at lower elevations), with creeks opening up and variable surface conditions.

Confidence

High

  • We are confident due to a stable weather pattern.

Avalanche Summary

A few natural wet loose avalanches up to size 2 were observed in the area on Wednesday.

Natural wet loose and wet slab avalanches up to size 2.5 were observed in the highway corridor on Monday/Tuesday.

Snowpack Summary

Cooler temps will keep a surface crust intact on all but lower elevation solar aspects.

The April 13th crust is down 15-30cm. The robust March 21 crust is down 40-80cms. These crusts could provide sliding layers when/if things warm up dramatically.

Weather Summary

Cooler weather with prevail into the weekend.

Tonight Clear. Alpine Low -11°C. Freezing level (FZL) valley bottom. Ridgetop wind North 25-45km/h.

Fri Sunny with cloudy periods. Alpine High -6°C. Wind North 20-40km/h. FZL 1600m.

Sat Mainly cloudy, isolated flurries. Low -10 °C, High -5 °C. FZL 1600m. Wind NE 10-20km/h.

Sun Scattered flurries (5cm). Low -9 °C, High -3 °C. FZL 1800m. Wind E 10-20km/h.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • A hard crust on the snow surface will help strengthen the snowpack, but may cause tough travel conditions.
  • Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.

Problems

Loose Wet

Loose Wet avalanches are the release of wet unconsolidated snow or slush. These avalanches typically occur within layers of wet snow near the surface of the snowpack, but they may quickly gouge into lower snowpack layers. Like Loose Dry Avalanches, they start at a point and entrain snow as they move downhill, forming a fan-shaped avalanche. Other names for loose-wet avalanches include point-release avalanches or sluffs. Loose Wet avalanches can trigger slab avalanches that break into deeper snow layers.
