Problèmes avalancheux

  • Storm Slabs

    • Alpin
    • Limite forestière
    • Sous la limite forestière
    Probabilité
    Very Likely
    Taille
    1.5–3

    Strong winds and new snow or rain will keep storm slabs reactive to rider triggering.

  • Loose Wet

    • Alpin
    • Limite forestière
    • Sous la limite forestière
    Probabilité
    Very Likely
    Taille
    1–2.5

    Rain has saturated the snowpack. Wet loose avalanches are likely to occur if temperatures are above freezing or it's raining.

Confidence

Moderate

  • Uncertainty is due to difficult to forecast freezing levels.

Avalanche Summary

A natural avalanche cycle is expected to occur throughout the duration of this storm.

Several size 1.5-2.5 natural storm slabs and wet loose avalanches have been reported in the Skeena River Corridor on Sunday and Monday.

Snowpack Summary

Up to 80 mm of rain has fallen over the past 36 hours, accompanied by strong southwest winds. This new precipitation has fallen on up to 50 cm of previous storm snow that sits on a layer of facets from late December.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avoid the runout zones of avalanche paths. Avalanches could run full path.
  • Use increased caution at all elevations. Storm snow is forming touchy slabs.
  • Keep in mind that the high density of wet avalanches can make them destructive.
