Sea To Sky

Travel cautiously as the snowpack is shallow and hides lurking hazards.

Small avalanches may still occur during low avalanche danger.

On Friday, a few small, wind and storm slabs were triggered with explosives near Whistler.

Exposed areas are likely to have been scoured or loaded by the wind. Sheltered areas have the best riding and least slab formation. Thin sun crusts have been seen on steep south facing slopes.

A firm crust that formed in early November can be found 30 to 100 cm deep in the alpine and at treeline. Weak, sugary facets have been spotted above and below the crust. This layer isn't currently a concern, but once we receive more snow, it'll be one to watch.

Expect to find 50 to 150 cm of snow, treeline and above, with snowpack depth decreasing rapidly below 1600 m.

Sunday Night
Mostly cloudy. 30 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.

Monday
Mostly cloudy, with 2 to 5 cm of snow in the afternoon. 20 to 40 km/h northwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C.

Tuesday
Cloudy with up to 5 cm of snow in the morning, then clearing. 10 to 20 km/h north ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.

Wednesday
Mostly cloudy. 15 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.

• Use caution above cliffs and terrain traps where even small avalanches may have severe consequences.
• Be cautious of buried obstacles, especially below treeline.
