Whistler Issued by: avalanche-canada Issued at: Sat Feb 7, 2026 16:00 PST Valid Until Sun Feb 8, 2026 16:00 PST
It will take time for the new snow from Saturday's storm to form a reliable bond with the previous surface crust. Steep, wind-loaded features will be the most likely to trigger.
Strong sunshine will destabilize snow on south-facing slopes on Sunday. This problem will likely be limited to new snow accumulations. Avalanche Summary Early reports from Saturday's storm in the Whistler area showed ski cutting and explosives producing size 1 releases in ridgetop lees in the morning, with snow and wind ongoing. Slabs formed at higher elevations, especially where wind loaded, will remain a concern for Sunday. Snowpack SummarySaturday's storm should leave us with 20 to 40 cm of windblown new snow above treeline, tapering to a rain-soaked surface below treeline. Where new snow accumulated, it mostly buried a widespread thin crust, thickest on sun-exposed slopes. It may add to dry snow on the region's highest north-facing slopes. Below the evolving surface, a wind-redistributed 15-50 cm of older snow, some moist and settled, some dry and faceted, sits on the thick late-January crust. A few areas are more problematic with only 5 cm of lower density faceted snow above the crust. The mid and lower snowpack are well settled and strong. Weather SummarySaturday Night More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast. Confidence: moderateWe are uncertain about alpine conditions due to limited field observations.

Wind loaded dry new snow accumulations in high alpine areas may remain reactive to human triggers on Sunday. This problem won't exist where a crust has formed on the surface.
Periods of sunshine may destabilize snow on south-facing slopes on Sunday. This problem will likely be limited to new snow accumulations. Avalanche Summary We don't have reports from Saturday's storm yet, but it's possible a small natural avalanche cycle took place at highest elevations where new snow accumulated, was blown around by extreme winds, and impacted by rain. Limited wind slab hazard may still exist in the high alpine. No new or even recent avalanche activity has been reported during the extended snowfall drought. Snowpack SummaryA crust should form on the surface in most areas Saturday night but break down with solar warming on Sunday. In the highest alpine, 10 to 20 cm of dry snow may have accumulated in the storm. Any accumulations will taper sharply with elevation. Where snow did accumulate, it would bury a widespread crust over a thoroughly settled snowpack. Average treeline snow depth is 70 to 150 cm. The snowpack tapers rapidly with elevation, especially on sun-facing slopes. Weather SummarySaturday Night More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast. Confidence: moderateWe are uncertain about alpine conditions due to limited field observations. Duffey Issued by: avalanche-canada Issued at: Sat Feb 7, 2026 16:00 PST Valid Until Sun Feb 8, 2026 16:00 PST
Steep, wind-loaded features will be the most likely to trigger in the wake of Saturday's storm. It will take some time for the new snow to form a reliable bond with the previous surface.
Strong sunshine will destabilize snow on south-facing slopes on Sunday. This problem will likely be limited to new snow accumulations. Avalanche Summary Early reports from Saturday's storm in the Whistler area showed ski cutting and explosives producing size 1 releases in ridgetop lees in the morning, with snow and wind ongoing. No reports yet from the Duffey, but slabs formed at higher elevations, especially where wind loaded, will remain a concern for Sunday. On Friday, explosives control in the Duffey produced one size 1.5 avalanche that failed on basal facets in an area of very shallow snowpack. Snowpack SummarySaturday's storm should leave us with 15 to 30 cm of windblown new snow above treeline, tapering to a rain-soaked surface below about 1500 m. Where new snow accumulated, it mainly buried a widespread crust, mostly thin but more supportive on sun-exposed slopes. It may add to heavily wind-affected dry snow on north-facing slopes above 2200 m. Below the evolving surface, the thick late-January crust sits under about 40 cm of old snow. This snow is moist below 2000 m but may contain facets on higher north aspects. The mid to lower snowpack is generally well settled and strong. Snowpack depth ranges from 150 to 250 cm at treeline elevations. Weather SummarySaturday Night More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast. Confidence: moderateWe are uncertain due to a limited number of field observations. |
