Anif Update

Access update: new gate at 2km up the FSR. The first 2km require radio call outs. Don’t venture up with out a radio that you can plug into the frequency as outlined on the sign at the start of the road. Not open every day so check with the flagging crew at the mamquam/pump house junction or call before. We had to wait for some machinery on the road - not fast travel but the road until the gate is in good condition. Beyond that the old road is bumpy and loose - high clearance recommended. Snow: We were able to drive to the road washout and start skinning with only a few on and offs. Creeks still mostly covered in Ray Basin, however, most skiable terrain has slid so much that it’s bare or thin or a bit of an ice ditch. Despite more snow and coverage on the road + basin, the lines on Anif were really thin and variable. We ended up doing some silly turns in the corn as redemption and passed on the objective.

Grill Day

Had an absolute rad grill day up Pump Peak to celebrate the end of classes. Didn't do too much skiing as we were more focused on our juicy burgers and ice cold brews. Had a quick game of pong at the top before riding and sliding out into the sunset. Snow conditions were slushy but very solid.

HSCT to Harvey creek

Did HSCT from cypress to unnecessary, descending toward Harvey creek and walked out the logging roads to LB. Saw massive crowns 2-3m tall on the W facing couloir just south of the West Lion. Likely from the warming and rainfall event March 29/30. Huge cornices still looming in that area. Descent from Lions Blinkert trail in bad condition for a few hundred metres. Bunch of fallen trees and logs, possibly from the weather event Dec 15 that caused a landslide in LB. A post hole and tree mantling adventure until we could put our hikers on and walk out the last 900m of vert to Sunset TH.

Goat Ridge - Avalanche (Hallway Couloir)

adam.blstak, Sunday 16th March, 2025 2:40PM

Ledge Trees

skied the ledge trees on Sunday directly beside Ledge Basin, we found that above 1300m the new snow was light and fluffy with a good bond to the older storm snow. below 1200m the snow rapidly started increasing in density and dampness. Many folks were choosing to skin directly up the avalanche path known as Home Run, rather than crossing it and skinning in the trees.

Powder in the Alps

Day trip to Alpen Mountain. Day started cold with very dry and very deep powder. Ski penetration was easily 30cm. It was snowing heavily in the morning, clouds where in and out. We saw an old size 1.5-2 avalanche on a north aspect at around 1600m elevation but new snow covered the crown already in the morning. Snow started to get more heavy as the day progressed. Snow at around 800m was like mashed potatoe.

Amazing powder in the trees

Amazing powder in the trees. Went up to 1630m and backed off due to low to no vis, flat lighting, and obvious storm slab formation and wind affect. Skied back down the skin track and set off two s1 soft storm slabs. Spent the day skiing the trees instead around 1500m and had perfect conditions. Deep fluffy powder ranging from shin to knee deep. Plenty to still go around. New snow seems to be bonding well. Quick HSTs showed no failure modes (1500 and below) - snow is quite unconsolidated. Foot pen ~ 80cm Steady temperatures throughout the day, staying around -1 and -2C (treeline).

mt seymour brockton to first pump

set track from Elsay junction on Mt Seymour to the top of first pump. snowing consistently the full time, solid accumulation almost filled in our tracks by the time we returned to Brockton point. able to very easily trigger .5-1.5 slides on steep easterly aspects that seemed mainly limited due to test slope size. continued to trigger the storm slab on all aspects if steep enough with shooting cracks where the slope angle was to shallow to slide skiing on the return continued to trigger smaller slides ( 5-10 meters with a 15m run, 30cm crown) where one would expect them, but didn't experience any sympathetic releases or stepping down below the established rain/melt freeze crust.
jack.zacharias, Tuesday 11th March, 2025 4:00PM

Alpen Mountain Area

Ascended a ridge to 1600m near Alpen noting wind affected snow at this elevation on N/W aspects. Additionally what looked to be a recent natural slide (possibly from the weekend) on a steep slope on the same aspects with a crown and run out of approximately 75m.

Digging Holes with Patrol

24cm new snow in the last 24 hours, with 18cm falling the day before (rain/snow mix) as temps rose into the positives yesterday morning. 1-2cm of dry new snow sits on top of approx. 20-25cm of wet, consolidated storm snow. ECT and CT done at the Pump Peak Avy Sign on a NW aspect. No results for either test. With excessive force, ECT failed at rain crust 60cm down. Also with excessive force, CT failed at bottom of recent storm snow approx. 20cm down. Recent snow appears to be consolidating well above the rain crust.
oliverpankratz, Monday 10th March, 2025 10:30AM

Sky Pilot Obs

Quick cruise up to the Stadium glacier to check out the new snow. See snowpack tab for details. Fun, creamy pow at TL with little wind affect, but above TL the impact of the wind was clear so did not venture higher. The buried rain crust from Saturday night became less evident higher up, but was still present at TL. Cleavage went size 2/2.5, probably at some point during the storm. Viz was poor so couldn’t get a good look at the crown. Lots of wet loose tree debris in the tree triangle to make the skin track challenging. Road is starting to get thin! This storm didn’t seem to help much lower down.
kenyonslaneym, Monday 10th March, 2025 9:00AM

Stadium area

Icy dust on crust to 1200 meters. Exit Gully ran size 2 during the storm, likely on Sunday. Steep trees skin-up track beside Home run ran on Sunday size 1 Creek on Skiers left of Home run is actually more exposed than last week, despite the rest of the run having a meter of fresh snow. Cleavage Couloir ran from a crown on the rock cliffs at the top size 2.5, stopping just short of Shannon creek gully. Could not see whether the round the corner entrance at very top of Cleavage had avalanched. Took the skin track up through the trees west of Stadium Gully Left. Visibility was poor, but it looked like areas of Stadium Gully Right and Moraines avalanched during the storm. Did a pit at 1530m, 37° slope, NNE aspect. HS >300cm HST 102 cm Crusts at 30, 64, 100(pre storm crust layer) F to 15 4F 15-30 1F 35-100 Storm snow at 1550 is nicely right side up and supportive. (Ski Pen about 25cm) Shovel shears showed planar results at 30,60 and 100 cm Compression test CTM 15 sudden planar on crust at 100. Pop and drop Second test same pit CTM 13 sudden planar on crust at 100 Above 1550 in the alpine we started seeing more wind effect and chose to ski Stadium Gully Left as it is well supported. Ski cut a 35°convexity at the top of run with no result. The snow itself was quite supportive and it was hard to get a lot of energy into the ski cut. There was some wind effect on the gully snow but it skiied pretty nicely. Then did two more runs in the trees west of Stadium left with supportive creamy and dreamy powder. Summary- the 100 cm storm snow does not seem to be particularly well bonded to the crust interface below it. We saw a lot of evidence of crowns in rocky steep shallow areas, and believe that interface could still be reactive in steep areas that did not slide during the storm. In the deeper, less steep storm snow areas it would take a lot of energy to trigger that layer and supported slopes skied well with no signs of instability.

it was okay

Attempted to hit hollyburn before the freezing levels shot up. Snow was cold and dry for about 200 vertical meters below the summit before 10 am. Anything steep and unsupported wanted to pop with the addition of a rider, we caused many small storm slabs to pop on small test features. No wumfing or remote triggering.

AST-1 course at Seymour to Mystery Peak

Ast1 course climbing Mt. Seymour to Mystery peak. We observed whumpfing sounds, shooting cracks everywhere and intentionally triggered multiple small avalanches. Observed one small natural avalanche. Inverted snowpack with ~30cm fresh snow over 5-10cm facet weak layer. Compression test on 30x30cm colum: top layer collapsed after 2-3 tabs, clear cut.

Seymour Storm Tour

Elevation: 1265m Aspect: SE Extended Column Test (ECT): Sudden planar failure 18cm down, ECTN 17 in new storm snow. Shooting cracks observed off the skin track on all aspects and across all elevation bands traveled. Evidence of small-scale surface sluffing. Weather Conditions: Mixed heavy, wet precipitation throughout the day. Snowline around 900m on the drive up. Summary: New storm snow is very reactive, with signs of instability including cracking and sluffing.

Howe sound spring conditions

Did an out and back to the Lions. Conditions resemble late April or early May - thin coverage throughout and lots of hidden hazards. Observed old avalanches likely from the most recent rain events last weekend on all aspects. Slow was heavy and slushy on all but the most northerly aspects.

Natural avalanche observed on Pump South Face

We were hiking on the Mount Seymour Trail when we observed a naturally occuring avalanche in front of us. The avalanche occured at 2:52PM on the South face of Pump Peak between elevations 1300m and 1340m on a slope of 31 degrees. The avalanche started with a loud rumbling sound "VRRRRROOOMM" that lasted between 1.5 to 2.5 seconds, and we saw some of the debris sliding down the open slope for 10 to 20 seconds. The debris then reached a patch of trees and slowed down. From there, sluff snow started dripping down the nearby slopes, which lasted over two minutes. When the avalanche occured, we were at elevation 1250m and we had just left Simple terrain. we were testing the stability of the snow on a small test slope in inconsequential terrain. On the solar irradiated South aspect, pinwheels and sluff were easily generated from the top 5-10cm of snow and the snow was moist. On the West aspect, there was no pinwheeling. Off of the hiking trail, the snow was wet, loose, and granular and it was easy to sink into the snow (post-holing) from 20-60cm deep.

We rode excellent spring-like conditions on corn snow. The snowpack is melting rapidly with these warm temperatures. Enjoy spring skiing on the coast!

Spring skiing in match

Isothermal snow above treeline and alpine on solar aspects down 10-20cm deeper and heavier under canopy in treeline. Light - mod N NE winds cooled snow enough on sheltered aspects to crust. Rain Runnels in the alpine. Obvious debris from avalanches size 1-2+ all aspects. Nothing observed today other than pinwheeling. We still found some slab properties over top of lower density snow on east face hasty pit. Good corn skiing in the sun for april may but it can go back to winter now.

Super sketchy conditions as expected and we stayed in Simple terrain. Snowing 1100m and up but super wet until 1350m. We dug a pit at 1350m E aspect low 30 degrees. 1st CT failed sudden planar 45cm down on isolation on the interface between the 2 recent storms. With a few from elbow it failed sudden planar 10cm below that again, and then with 3 from shoulder it failed 130cm down. We did an ECT as well and it also failed sudden planar 45cm down after 3 from elbow, full 90cm slid. Tons of whumpfing around 1400m. Lots of pinwheeling up till 1350m.

Alpen mtn - sticky snow and minor instability

Toured Alpen on Sunday. The forest/FSR part - the snow was heavy and sticky. Was sticking to skins, skis on both sides, in the afternoon it was slow going down even in a straight line. There was probably 5-10cm fresh and some flurries during the day Further in alpine it got better - a bit more dry and pretty nice powder in alpine. We skied the first peak from the hut (like a false one) and were able to trigger some minor slides under the load, no other signs of instability.

Mount Steele

Busy weekend at Mount Steele with multiple groups staying at the cabin as well as several folks out for the day. Multiple recent crown lines on convexities on the north aspect of Steele down towards the gully were visible when we arrived on the 15th. It snowed all night on the 15th with substantial wind accumulation. Skied both Raven Dance and Mount Steele the morning of the 16th, snow was heavy powder with variable visibility but overall great riding conditions. We triggered small point releases in the top 10-15 cm while skiing off the NE aspect of Steele in the late morning. Later saw skier triggered size ~0.5s off the NW aspect just below the summit around noon, and lots of pinwheeling on solar aspects. Ski out on the morning of Feb. 17 was on breakable crust from the cabin to the lower lot.

Warmed up considerably throughout the day, snow quite heavy coming out through trees (~1000m asl). Skied east aspect 1500m to 1000m. (Cool Lars couloir). 1500-1400 had reactive snow with soft slab properties. 1400-1200 10-15cm of powder overlaying a strong crust. Lower 1200-1000 exiting through the creek had deep wet powder.

Ledge Trees

Stormy day at S2SG. 20cm new snow with more in lee pockets. Soft and unconsolidated BTL which made for some great turns, but increasing wind affect above TL had created some denser slabs. Watched a party trigger a sz1 storm slab on an unsupported feature NNW aspect. 30cm deep in the new storm snow, ran 20m. We also noted some unconsolidated sluffing and shooting cracks while skiing the trees. Didn’t venture higher as vis was pretty bad.

Snow degrading

East side of Hollyburn still providing some decent snow, west slope is pretty chopped and icy anywhere that's already been tracked. Thin crust on top of powder in some areas, obviously sun affected from recent weather. Hopefully some percip this weekend will help out! Set off a couple very small dry sluffs but larger ones definitely seem possible on steeper slopes.

Alpen report. Big whumpfs.

Skinned up to Alpen on saturday. Biggest hurdle is actually getting there as mamaquam fsr is completely covered in soft snow, but was able to get to the entrance of Alpen with awd and good snow tires and parked near the burnt out car. Dug a pit on open, sunny, sw aspect around 1300m, found 70cm new snow sitting on visible weak layers but no results in pit test (non conclusive), given the structure though we expected to see resettlements on this layer. We ascended some mellow open sunny slopes to test this hypothesis and we observed very large resettlements (whumpfing) in which the sound of resettlement could be heard propagating far up-slope. We kept to mellow terrain. The powder was absolutely amazing.

Hollyburn laps

Great riding considering the absence of snow over the past few days. Snow quality has stayed pretty constant due to the cold temps since last snowfall. Great pow if you can find untracked areas. We cut across a couple steep slopes in the trees (~45 degrees), snowpack seems solid, no evidence of weakness or shooting cracks were seen.

Skied Mount Harvey via the SE face. Mostly cloudy. There was a surface crust the whole way up, with just the occasional patch of good powder.

Mount Windsor

Amaaazing turns & powder up high on Mount Windsor but some tricky work to get up there. Snow starts from the parking lot @ 100m but is thin making for difficult and time consuming skinning. It would be better to walk to the lake with micro spikes. Actual skiable snow starts above Deeks lake @ 1000m, and quickly becomes deep around 1200m. Snow was dry and fluffy, making for deep trailbreaking up high but also incredible turns down from the summit & through the glades. Some areas were slightly wind affected but nothing major, and the snow felt really solid overall. No whumfs, cracking or any obvious signs of slabs forming. The day was mostly cloudy with short periods of warm sun, low winds but overall very cold, and no signs of warming snow.
