Regions

Glacier.

Be on the lookout for wind loaded areas in the alpine near ridge crests and roll overs. These may be reactive to skier/boarder triggering.

Early Season hazards such as rocks, logs and stumps are prevalent at lower elevations. Allow adequate time for egress and emergencies during these short days.

Confidence

High

Avalanche Summary

There have not been any recent natural or human triggered avalanches reported in the last few days.

MIN reports have observed pockets of wind slab in the alpine.

Snowpack Summary

The surface consists of a thin suncrust on steep solar aspects with wind slab development noted in exposed alpine areas. Good powder can still be found in protected areas.

A rain crust is down 40-60cm in the snowpack, and exists up to approximately 2200m. The height of snow at treeline is ~110cm, and down at Rogers Pass (1300m) is 45cm.

Weather Summary

Isolated flurries continue with westerly winds steadily increasing through the week.

Tonight Cloudy, no precip, light NW winds, low -9°C, FZL valley bottom.

Wed Mainly cloudy, isolated flurries - trace of new snow, light W winds, alpine high -8°C, FZL 600m

Thurs Flurries up to 5cm, moderate W winds, alpine high -4°C, FZL 1100m.

Fri Cloudy 10cm new snow, winds SW moderate gusting strong, alpine high -6°C, FZL 1000m.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Carefully evaluate steep lines for wind slabs.
  • Be careful with wind-loaded pockets, especially near ridge crests and rollovers.

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.
