Regions

South Coast, North Shore, Sasquatch, Sasquatch, Sky Pilot, Tetrahedron, Coquihalla, Harrison-Fraser, Manning, Skagit.

Wind slabs may persist in steep terrain at higher elevations, while the lower elevation snowpack remains shallow with plenty of hidden hazards.

Confidence

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

No avalanches have been reported. However, field observations are extremely limited in the early season.

If you're heading out into the backcountry, please consider sharing your observations on the MIN.

Snowpack Summary

At upper elevations, 5 to 15 cm of dry, powder snow can be found in wind-sheltered terrain. Snow has likely been redistributed in exposed terrain by recent winds.

We suspect there is up to 80 cm of snow in some alpine terrain.

At higher elevations, a thick crust is likely widespread, roughly 20 cm below the surface.

Snow depth tapers rapidly with elevation.

Weather Summary

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • If it's deep enough to ride, it's deep enough to slide (avalanche).
  • Back off if you encounter whumpfing, hollow sounds, or shooting cracks.
  • Be cautious of buried obstacles, especially below treeline.

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.
