Regions

Sasquatch, Sasquatch, Coquihalla, Harrison-Fraser, Manning, Skagit.

Recent snowfall continues to stabilize and bond with the underlying crust.

Confidence

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported in this region.

If you do go into the backcountry, please consider submitting a MIN report.

Snowpack Summary

Approximately 30 to 40 cm of new snow has buried a widespread, thick crust at higher elevations.

The mid and lower snowpack are well-settled and strong.

At lower elevations, conditions remain rugged with a shallow snowpack and largely wet snow surfaces.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avoid areas where the snow feels stiff and/or slabby.
  • Closely monitor how the new snow is bonding to the crust.
  • Expect shallow snow cover that barely covers ground roughness.

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.
