Points saillants

Continually assess conditions as you move through terrain.

Wind slabs may still exist on high north facing terrain and wet loose avalanches could be triggered on steep, sunny slopes.

    Wet loose avalanches are possible on steep slopes when the surface is wet or moist.

Avalanche Summary

Small skier triggered wind slab and dry loose avalanches continue to be reported in the region. These avalanches have generally occurred in steep terrain in the alpine and treeline.

On Wednesday one of these wind slabs propagated surprisingly wide, up to 120 m. The slab was only 10 to 15 cm thick.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain due to the variability of wind effect on the snowpack.

Snowpack Summary

Recent moderate to strong wind has variably effected open terrain at treeline and in the alpine. The snow surface will become moist on sun exposed slopes during the day on Sunday.

15 to 40 cm of recent snow sits over the thin early February crust.

A widespread crust and facet layer from late January is buried 30 to 60 cm deep.

The mid and lower snowpack is generally well settled and strong. Snowpack depth at treeline is around 150 cm.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be careful as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
  • Be alert to conditions that change with elevation, aspect, and exposure to wind.
  • Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
