Points saillants

Enjoy one last dose of spring skiing before the new snow finally arrives.

Loose wet avalanches may occur where dry snow is being warmed for the first time.

    An above freezing layer combined with sunny temperatures makes loose wet avalanches possible where dry snow is being warmed for the first time

Confidence

High

  • We are uncertain about how quickly persistent slabs are gaining strength.

Avalanche Summary

Jan 22

  • No new avalanches reported but observations are limited. Consider posting to the MIN if you are out in the mountains!

Jan 21

  • A skier triggered a persistent slab avalanche when transitioning into wind affected terrain. A firm wind slab stepped down 70 cm to the weak layer below.

January 20

  • No new avalanches reported

January 19

  • Few small wind slabs were reported in steep north-facing alpine terrain that appeared to have been triggered by cornice fall.

Snowpack Summary

A crust exists on or near the surface in almost all terrain from the prolonged heat, rain and inversion.

The upper 80 to 150 cm of snow has been altered by previous strong southerly winds at upper elevations. The top 10 cm of the most recent crust is facetting in alpine and at treeline. Below 1000 m there is large surface hoar on this crust.

The mid and lower snowpack is well settled with no current layers of concern. Treeline snow depths throughout the region range from 150 cm to 250 cm.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avoid steep, sun-exposed slopes when the air temperature is warm or when solar radiation is strong.
  • Use extra caution for areas that are experiencing rapidly warming temperatures for the first time.
