In sintesi

Recent strong southerly winds have formed wind slabs in Leeward terrain features.

Use caution as you transition into wind-affected terrain.

Problemi valanghivi

  • Wind Slabs

    • Alta quota
    • Limite del bosco
    • Sotto il limite del bosco
    Probabilità
    Possible
    Dimensione
    1–2

    Wind slabs will be most reactive on northern-facing aspects and where the slab overlies surface hoar.

  • Persistent Slabs

    • Alta quota
    • Limite del bosco
    • Sotto il limite del bosco
    Probabilità
    Unlikely - Possible
    Dimensione
    2.5–3.5

    A weak layer of facets may be found 90 to 280 cm deep. In shallower inland areas, weak depth hoar exists to ground. Avoid steep, rocky, and thin snowpack areas where this layer could be triggered.

Confidence

Moderate

  • We are uncertain about alpine conditions due to limited field observations.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported.

Observations are limited, so be sure to post yours to the MIN if you get out!

Snowpack Summary

Up to 25 cm of new snow has accumulated since Monday, accompanied by strong southerly winds. Freezing levels have hovered around 1200 m. There will be a crust below this elevation. The highest snowfall amounts are in the White Pass area, with lesser amounts inland.

A crust buried on Jan 26th is being reported down 40 to 60 cm. On northern and eastern aspects, a layer of surface hoar exists over the crust in some places.

A layer of facets from December is buried down 90–280 cm. It remains a concern where the snowpack transitions from thin to thick in White Pass and is the layer of concern in inland areas with a lower snowpack.

Weather Summary

Friday Night
Cloudy. 3 to 5 cm of snow. 20 km/h southeast ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C. Freezing level 700 m.

Saturday
Cloudy. 2 to 4 cm of snow. 30 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -1 °C. Freezing level 800 m.

Sunday
Mostly cloudy. 3 to 10 cm of snow. 50 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -1 °C. Freezing level 800 m.

Monday
Mostly cloudy. 1 to 5 cm of snow. 60 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Choose low-angled, sheltered terrain where new snow hasn't been wind-affected.
  • Avoid areas where the snow feels stiff and/or slabby.
  • Avoid shallow, rocky areas where the snowpack transitions from thick to thin.
