Friday January 22nd Avalanche Canada, 17 hours ago Forecast Wheaton Whoops 1 day ago Observation A whooped out sled trail into the Tally Ho zone - still some open water in places. We saw more evidence of a natural avalanche cycle from the last storm. Above 1000m there’s widespread wind effect. We stayed away from wind loaded alpine features that looked like windslabs today. 3 photos Wheaton 2 days ago Observation A slight inversion in the Wheaton today -13c/-7c with clear skies and light variable winds. Old avalanches from the recent storm can be seen on all aspects. On average size 2 -2.5 starting mid-track and running into tree line. 3 photos Wednesday January 20th Avalanche Canada, 2 days ago Forecast Monday January 18th Avalanche Canada, 4 days ago Forecast Wheaton valley northeast aspect 4 days ago Observation Good skiing in Wheaton Valley on Northeast slope sheltered from the wind. Ski pen at treeline was ~10 cm, 30 cm in trees. Southerly winds increased to moderate/strong in the afternoon. Some shooting cracks observed on storm layer, but didn't really have a surface to slide on. 3 photos New zone, very different snowpack conditions 5 days ago Observation two sparate avlanches. Appeared to have started from the crest of the ridge. Both rang long (>1 km). One banked up the side of the creek channel that we were skinning up knocking over small trees. The slide appeared old (wind effected surface on both debris zones). 3 photos Saturday January 16th Avalanche Canada, 6 days ago Forecast Log cabin south observation 6 days ago Observation Saw a number of avalanche crowns on the south face of log cabin today connecting weak points in the snow pack like rocks and trees. With 12 hours of moderate wind last night we were surprised to see that there is still so much snow in the alpine. 1 photos Friday January 15th Avalanche Canada, 1 week ago Forecast Warm snowy day in the pass 1 week ago Observation Snowy day and it warmed up in the afternoon. Temps in the way home at highway level were near zero the whole way from Fraser to Windy Arm. Snow tapers off inland. 25cm new in Fraser area. 3 photos Fraser Galdes 1 week ago Observation Warm temps(-1.4) and 31cm’s of new snow. Fraser glades was slow trail breaking and mellow skiing. While traveling on skis we tried skiing over very small break overs with no consequence below and did manage the occasional small loose piece of snow to break free. 2 photos Log cabin lower north face 1 week ago Observation Yesterday’s South winds made it down into the trees and affected riding in all but the most sheltered glades. Light was very flat and kept us lower down where there was more definition. Winds out of the north today picked up around 1PM and snow started falling at 2PM 1 photos Wednesday January 13th Avalanche Canada, 1 week ago Forecast Tutsi slide path 1 week ago Observation Top 15cm was turning to a soft slab that popped and dropped slightly at third wrist tap. 2 layers popped but did not drop at same time on third tap from elbow, on degenerating facets, at 25 cm and 31cm. See photos. -3 degrees, no wind. No cracks or avy signs while skinning. 2 photos New snow, new day 1 week ago Observation 15cm storm snow in the area since Saturday. Low density with minimal wind effect at and below treeline. It has fallen on top of previous low density snow to make for deep powder turns. In the lower alpine it has been slightly affected by the wind, but was unreactive on the terrain we skied. 3 photos New snow, new day 1 week ago Observation 15cm storm snow in the area since Saturday. Low density with minimal wind effect at and below treeline. It has fallen on top of previous low density snow to make for deep powder turns. In the lower alpine it has been slightly affected by the wind, but was unreactive on the terrain we skied. 4 photos East side turns 1 week ago Observation Skied some mellow trees on the East side of the highway. Snow quality was good and not wind affected. We dug a pit at 1260m on an East facing slope and found a reactive layer 45-50cms down (sudden planar release on easy). Found the same layer between 1000-1200m doing a couple of hand shear tests. Exploring somewhere new 1 week ago Observation A great day skiing terrain that hasn't looked appealing for a few years. Weather was a mix of high overcast and scattered cloud, temperatures warm and consistent, winds calm, zero precip. 2 photos Fraser Chutes 1 week ago Observation Avalanche observation by Andrew Crist, seen near Yukon, reported on Sun 10th Jan, 2021 10:10PM Monday January 11th Avalanche Canada, 1 week ago Forecast Day 2 at Fraser 1 week ago Observation Fresh snow sitting on a wind crust. Once you get out of the trees, there is less snow on top of the crust. Around tree line and lower, it is soft, light powder that is about 15-20cm deep. 3 photos Powder Valley delivers AST glory. 1 week ago Observation ASTers got some great terrain management learning and great turns today. Packed fast powder was on the menu. We skied open avalanche paths and TL glades to 40 degrees. 2 photos This winter keeps on giving 1 week ago Observation *Location corrected and reposted We lapped Paddy shoulder from 1380m to valley bottom. Snow was very lightly touched by the wind to make buttery delicious skiing on open slopes. There was well preserved powder within the trees to upper treeline. 2 photos This winter keeps on giving 1 week ago Observation We lapped Paddy shoulder from 1380m to valley bottom. Snow was very lightly touched by the wind to make buttery delicious skiing on open slopes. There was well preserved powder within the trees to upper treeline. The snow was hard and wind effected at the transition to alpine terrain. 2 photos Powder Valley 1 week ago Observation We had no result during our compression test. Did experience a bit of whumpfing on our initial skin up. 3 photos Shooting the chutes 1 week ago Observation Great riding sub alpine, above that was non reactive wind layer which was ok to ride but way more fun downhill. We kept just above Treeline. At least shoe depth deep new snow U could see some old tracks mostly uphill. Very warm -4C. 5 photos Fraser chutes ast 1 week ago Observation CTM(18), CTH(23) down 30cm on preserved stellar, below a 1F wind slab. The Dec 2 crust was down approximately 120cm at our test site. 2 photos Faster chutes 1 week ago Observation Avalanche observation by Ryan Clarke, seen near Yukon, reported on Sat 9th Jan, 2021 12:00PM Windy crust at Fraser 1 week ago Observation Avalanche observation by Ryan Clarke, seen near Yukon, reported on Sat 9th Jan, 2021 12:00PM Tree skiing is a blast! 1 week ago Observation Past MIN reports said it has been busy in the Tutshi Chutes.
