Regions

Northwest Inland, Kispiox, Microwave-Sinclair, North Bulkley, South Bulkley, South Bulkley, South Bulkley, Telkwa.

Recent snow depths have varied across the region.

Constantly asses the depth of the new snow and retreat to lower angle terrain if you see signs of instability.

Confidence

Low

Avalanche Summary

On Tuesday and Thursday our field team had concerning snowpack test results on the same surface hoar layer (buried in mid November) related to this Mountain Information Network report.

Snowpack Summary

10 to 20 cm of recent snow has buried previously wind affected snow in the alpine and open areas at treeline.

In sheltered areas, expect to find soft snow.

A layer of weak, feathery (surface hoar) crystals is buried 20 to 40 cm and is most problematic where the surface snow is firm.

A crust formed in November and is buried at about 60 to 90 cm with small facets above it.

At treeline, the snow is about 100 cm deep, snowpack depth gradually thins as elevation decreases to 30 cm at valley bottom.

Weather Summary

Sunday Night
Cloudy. 5 to 10 cm of snow. 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C. Freezing level 600 m.

Monday
Mostly cloudy. 10 to 20 cm this could fall as rain at lower elevations. 40 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 0 °C. Freezing level 1500 m.

Tuesday
Mostly cloudy. 5 to 10 cm of snow. 40 to 50 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -1°C. Freezing level 1400 m.

Wednesday
Mostly cloudy. 2 to 6 cm of snow. 35 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -8°C.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Watch for fresh storm slabs building throughout the day.
  • Look for signs of instability: whumphing, hollow sounds, shooting cracks, and recent avalanches.

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.
