    New snow accumulating combined with steady moderate to strong wind will form new wind slabs over previously wind affected snow.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain about forecast snowfall amounts.

Avalanche Summary

There is no avalanche activity to report in the past few days.

Looking forward, wind slab and storm is avalanche activity is likely to increase as new snow accumulates and the wind picks up over the coming days.

If you do observe an avalanche please submit a MIN report.

Snowpack Summary

10 to 25 cm of new snow has accumulated on top of a hard wind affected snow on all aspects, including lower elevations below treeline in some areas. This new snow is being redistributed by moderate to strong winds.

On some ridgetops, the wind stripped the snow in wind-exposed terrain down to the early-February melt-freeze crust. In wind-sheltered terrain, around 40 to 70 cm of snow sits on top of this crust. It seems well-bonded and is not considered a problem at this time.

The remainder of the snowpack is consolidated with no layers of concern.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be careful as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
  • Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
  • The best and safest riding will be on slopes that have soft snow without any slab properties.
  • Recent wind has varied in direction, so watch for wind slabs on all aspects.
