    This problem has been most active in the Whistler/Portal Creek area but is widespread through the forecast region. When triggered, it will be big with serious consequences. Warm and sunny conditions will increase this danger.

Weather Forecast

Flurries expected by Sunday night in the Icefields with forecasted snow amount of 8cms. Rain or wet flurries below 1800ms. Slow progress into spring for the areas around the Divide but, next week shows great promise for warm sunny spring skiing and goggle tan enthusiasts. 

Snowpack Summary

Moist surface snow and a strengthening mid-pack as the snowpack settles into spring at TL and BTL on solar aspects. Good overnight recovery with temps to almost -10 and rising 0 in the alpine. Significant variation in snowpack depth through-out the forecast area with a large proportion being shallow and valley bottoms below 1800m in spring bloom.

Avalanche Summary

Field teams in the Icefields area reporting several loose wet slides on solar aspects in the south end of the park. One sz 2.5 on a SW'ly aspect near the Boundary. Large serac collapse on the north glacier of Mt. Athabasca. Debris running 100ms wide x 300ms long and does not appear to have triggered any slab in the surrounding snowpack.
