Carefully assess slopes for slab properties.
Storm slab size and sensitivity will likely increase throughout the day.
Expect the largest, most reactive slabs in exposed terrain on north and east aspects, while sheltered areas may see slabs forming on a weak layer of surface hoar or facets.
No new avalanches have been reported since the weekend, but reports have been limited. Please consider submitting your observations to the Mountain Information Network.
By the morning of November 28th up to 15 cm could overlie variable snow surfaces, including small facets and/or surface hoar in sheltered areas and heavily wind-affected snow in exposed terrain.
A rain crust from early November is buried 40 to 90 cm deep and seems to be bonding well to overlying layers.
Alpine snow depths vary across the region, with up to 130 cm west of Smithers and around 60 cm to the east.
