Regions

South Coast Inland, Birkenhead, Duffey, South Chilcotin, Stein, Taseko.

Human-triggered avalanches are possible. Use caution as you transition into wind-affected terrain.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain about forecast snowfall amounts.

Avalanche Summary

Tuesday’s storm follows a period of low danger and limited avalanche activity.

Looking ahead, concerns shift to the new snow forming wind slabs, and eventually wet loose avalanches with sun and warming.

If you go into the backcountry, support the forecast by posting a MIN.

Snowpack Summary

10 to 20 cm of new snow is expected by the end of Tuesday. This new snow overlies a melt-freeze crust, moist snow, or isothermal conditions, depending on aspect and elevation.

The snowpack has undergone multiple warming and cooling cycles, forming a series of crusts interspersed with dense, rounded grains.

Weather Summary

Tuesday Night

Partly cloudy. 3 to 10 cm of snow. 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -10 °C.

Wednesday

Mix of sun and clouds. 0 to 2 cm of snow. 10 km/h northwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -7 °C.

Thursday

Mix of sun and clouds. 1 to 3 cm of snow. 30 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C. Freezing level 1700 m.

Friday

Mix of sun and clouds. 0 to 2 cm of snow. 20 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C. Freezing level 1800 m.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Approach lee and cross-loaded slopes with caution.
  • Dial back your terrain choices if you are seeing more than 20 cm of new snow.

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.
