It’s a mixed bag out there. Wet loose and persistent slabs are both possible or even likely.
Choose conservative terrain and Check out our latest forecaster video for advice.

Terrain and Travel Advice:
  • Be aware of the potential for large avalanches due to a buried crust.
  • In times of uncertainty, conservative terrain choices are our best defense.
  • Loose avalanches may start small, but they can grow and push you into dangerous terrain.
  • Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
Persistent Slab

A crust with facets above it has produced several accidental and remotely triggered avalanches. This layer is most likely to be triggered on north and east aspects at upper treeline and in the alpine.

Wet Loose

Wet loose avalanches are likely in steep or extreme terrain when the snow surface is wet or slushy.

Avalanche Summary

Several size 1.5 to 2.5  skier and remotely triggered slab avalanches have been reported in the region over the past few days. These avalanches predominantly occurred on north and east aspects in the alpine. They failed on a layer of facets over a crust from mid April. See photos below.

Snowpack Summary

The snow surface will likely become moist or wet on all aspects and elevations except the highest elevation north facing terrain.

A thick crust, with facets above it, can be found down 10 to 40 cm at treeline and above. Previous wind may have scoured exposed features back to this crust.

The mid and lower snowpack is well settled and strong. At low elevations the snowpack is disappearing quickly.

Weather Summary

Saturday Night
Partly cloudy. 1 mm of rain at treeline. 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 2 °C. Freezing level 2300 m.

Sunday
Sunny. 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 4 °C. Freezing level 2700 m.

Monday
Mostly sunny. 20 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 6 °C. Freezing level 2900 m.

Tuesday
Mix of sun and clouds. 1 to 2 mm of rain at treeline. 20 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 5 °C. Freezing level 2800 m.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Confidence: moderate
We are uncertain about how the snowpack will react to the forecast weather.

Sunny and hot conditions will weaken the upper snowpack.
Avoid travelling on or below steep slopes when the snow surface feels wet or slushy.

TreelineModerateModerateModerate
Below TreelineLowLowLow

Terrain and Travel Advice:
  • Back off slopes as the surface becomes moist or wet with rising temperatures.
  • Keep in mind that the high density of wet avalanches can make them destructive.
  • A moist or wet snow surface, pinwheeling, and natural avalanches are all indicators of a weakening snowpack.
Wet Loose

Wet loose avalanches are likely in steep or extreme terrain when the snow surface is wet or slushy.

Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanches have been reported. However, observations are extremely limited at this time of year.

Snowpack Summary

The snow surface will likely become moist or wet on all aspects and elevations as a result of elevated freezing levels Saturday night and further warming during the day on Sunday. Dry snow may be found on high north facing terrain first thing in the morning.

A thick crust can be found down 10 to 30 cm at treeline and above. The snowpack below this crust is well settled and strong.

At low elevations the snowpack is disappearing quickly. Where snow remains it may be isothermal.

Weather Summary

Saturday Night
Partly cloudy. 20 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 6 °C. Freezing level 2600 m.

Sunday
Mostly sunny. 10 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 9 °C. Freezing level 2800 m.

Monday
Mostly sunny. 10 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 11 °C. Freezing level 2900 m.

Tuesday
Mix of sun and clouds. 10 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 9 °C. Freezing level 2800 m.
