Regions

South Coast, North Shore, Tetrahedron.

If you're heading out for an early season explore, be aware of copious early season hazards barely hidden by thin snow coverage.

Confidence

Low

Avalanche Summary

No avalanches have been reported in the region yet this season.

Snowpack Summary

Snow coverage in the region is generally thin and patchy. Select smooth alpine features may now hold enough snow to produce avalanches. Elsewhere, coverage is below this threshold.

Weather Summary

Friday Night

Clear skies. Alpine wind north 10-15 km/h.

Saturday

Clear skies. Alpine wind north 10-15 km/h. Treeline high temperature 6°C. Freezing level 2500 m.

Sunday

Clear skies. Alpine wind variable direction 10-15 km/h. Treeline high temperature 8°C. Freezing level 3000 m.

Monday

Clear skies. Alpine wind west 10-15 km/h. Treeline high temperature 7°C. Freezing level 3200 m.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Expect shallow snow cover that barely covers ground roughness.
  • Avalanche danger is often elevated in alpine gullies where snow has accumulated.
  • Early season avalanches at any elevation have the potential to be particularly dangerous due to obstacles that are exposed or just below the surface.

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.
