Sea To Sky

The upper snowpack has been saturated and weakened by rain. Avoid high-consequence avalanche terrain while above-freezing temperatures continue.

Numerous wet slab, wet loose, and storm slab avalanches were naturally or explosive-triggered on Sunday, anywhere from size 1 to 3.

Rainfall and warm temperatures have saturated and weakened the upper snowpack. At treeline and below the snowpack is largely isothermal.

The mid and lower snowpack consists of various old crusts and is generally well-settled and well-bonded.

• Back off slopes as the surface becomes moist or wet with rising temperatures.
• The more the snow feels like a slurpy, the more likely loose wet avalanches will become.
• Conservative terrain selection is critical, choose only well supported, low consequence lines.
