Regions

Northwest Inland, Seven Sisters, Howson, Kispiox, Microwave-Sinclair, Ningunsaw.

Carefully verify conditions .

Avalanche hazard is expected to increase throughout the day. Choose low consequence terrain and be prepared to dial back your objective.

Confidence

Moderate

  • Uncertainty is due to the limited number of field observations.
  • Uncertainty is due to how the snowpack will react to the forecast weather.

Avalanche Summary

Numerous size 1.5 to 2 avalanches were reported on Wednesday but details are limited. In general, observations are limited in this region.

If you're headed into the backcountry please consider filling out a Mountain Information Network report.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Don't let storm day fever lure you into consequential terrain.
  • Watch for fresh storm slabs building throughout the day.
  • Storm slab size and sensitivity to triggering will likely increase through the day.
  • Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind-affected terrain.

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.
