Points saillants

Choose small terrain features, as large avalanches are possible for riders to trigger.

Wind slabs could step down to a buried weak layer.

Problèmes avalancheux

  • Wind Slabs

    • Sous la limite forestière
    Probabilité
    Likely
    Taille
    1–2.5

    Continued wind is likely forming slabs in lee areas. Small wind slabs may step down and become large, destructive avalanches.

  • Storm Slabs

    Storm slabs are sitting on a heavily faceted layer from the prolonged cold period.

Confidence

Low

  • Uncertainty is due to the limited number of field observations.

Avalanche Summary

On Monday, several natural avalanches up to size 3 were observed from the road in White Pass. Check out this MIN report for more details.

No other avalanches have been reported, however, observations are limited.

Snowpack Summary

Moderate to strong wind continues to redistribute 40-65 cm of recent storm snow over a very suspect, heavily wind-affected, and faceted snowpack. The bottom 70-100 cm of the snowpack consists of facets.

Snowpack depths vary widely due to wind, but average around 150 cm across the region.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avoid slopes that sound hollow or drum-like.
  • Avoid exposure to overhead avalanche terrain; avalanches may run surprisingly far.
  • Look for signs of instability: whumphing, hollow sounds, shooting cracks, and recent avalanches.
  • If triggered, wind slabs avalanches may step down to deeper layers resulting in larger avalanches.
