    Probabilità
    Unlikely - Possible
    Dimensione

    A deeply buried weak layer near the base of the snowpack could be triggered by large loads such as a cornice collapse or from a thin-spot trigger point.

Confidence

Fair - Timing, track, or intensity of incoming weather is uncertain for the entire period

Snowpack Summary

New snow is landing on a medley of snow surfaces including hard and soft wind slabs, scoured slopes, blue ice and thin melt-freeze crusts. Winds are likely to shift snow into slabs in the lee of terrain breaks such as ridges and ribs. Surface hoar layers buried in the upper snowpack are patchy in their distribution. Recent snowpack tests recently gave generally hard to no results near Smithers. An otherwise strong mid-pack overlies a weak base layer of facets/depth hoar. The snowpack depth is around 100 cm at treeline.
