Regions

South Coast Inland, Birkenhead, Duffey, South Chilcotin, Stein, Taseko.

Exercise caution in wind loaded terrain.

The snowpack is shallow at elevations below 1600 m and hides thinly buried hazards.

Confidence

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

No avalanches have been reported. However, observations are limited in this region.

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

Snowpack Summary

Up to 25 cm of recent snowfall may overlie surface hoar or facets. Steep south-to-west-facing slopes likely hold a thinly buried sun crust, while wind-exposed terrain is expected to be hard and smooth, with wind slabs forming on leeward features.

A firm crust that formed in early November can be found 30 to 100 cm down at alpine and treeline elevations. Weak, sugary facets have been spotted above and below the crust. Expect to find 50 to 150 cm of total snow at treeline and above, with snowpack height decreasing rapidly below 1600 m.

Weather Summary

Mostly cloudy. 1 to 2 cm of snow. 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C. Freezing level falling to 700 m.

Sunday
Mostly cloudy. 3 to 10 cm of snow. 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -1 °C. Freezing level rising to 1600 m.

Monday
Mostly cloudy. 1 to 3 mm of precipitation as snow or rain at treeline. 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 1 °C. Freezing level rising to 2000 m.

Tuesday
Mostly clou. 1 to 3 mm of precipitation as snow or rain at treeline. 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -1 °C. Freezing level 1400 m.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be careful with wind-loaded pockets, especially near ridge crests and rollovers.
  • Use ridges or ribs to avoid areas of wind-loaded snow.
  • Be cautious of buried obstacles, especially below treeline.

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.
