Regions

South Coast, North Shore, Sasquatch, Sasquatch, Sky Pilot, Tetrahedron.

Another warm storm with heavy rain is approaching.
Saturated snowpack may lead to wet avalanche activity on steep slopes.

Confidence

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanches have been reported. However, observations are extremely limited in this area.

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

Snowpack Summary

Rain from the past days has saturated and significantly melted the current snowpack, which is diminishing rapidly as you lose elevation.

A new melt-freeze crust has formed at the snow surface at upper elevations above 1600 m.

Treeline areas currently hold an estimated 30 to 50 cm of snow.

Weather Summary

Thursday
Partially cloudy. 30 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C. Freezing level 1300 m.

Friday
Cloudy. Up to 5 cm of snow. 40 km/h northwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C. Freezing level 1000 m.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • A moist or wet snow surface, pinwheeling, and natural avalanches are all indicators of a weakening snowpack.
  • Loose avalanches may start small, but they can grow and push you into dangerous terrain.

Problems

Loose Wet

Loose Wet avalanches are the release of wet unconsolidated snow or slush. These avalanches typically occur within layers of wet snow near the surface of the snowpack, but they may quickly gouge into lower snowpack layers. Like Loose Dry Avalanches, they start at a point and entrain snow as they move downhill, forming a fan-shaped avalanche. Other names for loose-wet avalanches include point-release avalanches or sluffs. Loose Wet avalanches can trigger slab avalanches that break into deeper snow layers.
