Regions

South Coast, Powell River, North Shore, Sasquatch, Tetrahedron.

Stormy conditions ease by Thursday, but dangerous avalanche conditions may persist. Avoid avalanche terrain during heavy snow or strong winds.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain due to a limited number of field observations.
  • We are uncertain about forecast snowfall amounts.

Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanche activity has been reported.

If you head out, please consider posting your observations to the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

Recent storm snow has buried a widespread crust formed during last weekend's rain, with varying depths.

Below this recently formed crust, the snowpack is generally settled and well-bonded.

Weather Summary

Wednesday Night
Cloudy. 10 to 15 cm of snow. 60 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C. Freezing level 1100 m.

Thursday
Cloudy. 5 to 10 cm of snow. 40 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -6 °C.

Friday
Mostly cloudy. 5 to 20 cm of snow. 20 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -5 °C.

Saturday
Mostly sunny. 20 km/h northwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -6 °C.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Keep your guard up as storm slabs may remain sensitive to human triggering.
  • Avoid freshly wind-loaded terrain features.
  • Make observations and continually assess conditions as you travel.

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.
