Regions

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

Snow coverage is thin - keep an eye out for rocks, stumps, and creeks that may be hidden just below the surface.

Confidence

High

Avalanche Summary

No avalanches have been reported this season, however, observations are very limited.

Considering the shallow snowpack, avalanche activity would be limited to slopes with enough snow to cover rocks and roughness (shrubs etc).

If you head into the mountains, please share any observations or photos on the MIN.

Snowpack Summary

Snow depth varies rapidly with elevation. There is no snow below 1000 m, about 20–40 cm at treeline, and up to 80 cm in the high alpine. A crust or moist snow likely exists at the surface from Monday's rain. Overall, the snowpack is strong and well-bonded.

Use caution when travelling; early-season hazards are a concern.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • If it's deep enough to ride, it's deep enough to slide (avalanche).
  • Be cautious of buried obstacles, especially below treeline.
  • Small avalanches may cause climbers to fall or bury belayers and gear.
