Regions

Vancouver Island, East Island, North Island, South Island, West Island.

Under current conditions, a fall in steep terrain poses a greater risk than avalanches.

Confidence

High

  • We are confident due to a stable weather pattern.

Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanches have been reported.

Snowpack Summary

A hard surface crust caps a moist and well-settled snowpack.

Treeline snow depth is 80 to 120 cm.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
  • A hard crust on the snow surface will help strengthen the snowpack, but may cause tough travel conditions.
  • Cornices often break further back than expected; give them a wide berth when traveling on ridgetops.
