Danger ratingsProblemsDetails

Terrain sheltered from the wind should hold the best riding and the lowest avalanche danger.
Snowfall amounts vary, if you are seeing 35 cm or more of fresh, increase danger by one step.

Terrain and Travel Advice:
  • Avoid freshly wind-loaded features, especially near ridge crests, rollovers, and in steep terrain.
  • Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
  • Use caution above cliffs and terrain traps where even small avalanches may have severe consequences.
Wind Slab

New snow and moderate southeast winds are likely forming fresh wind slabs on leeward slopes.

Cornice cornice

Cornices are large and fragile. Avoid travelling on or under them.

Avalanche Summary

On Tuesday around Whistler, a few large (size 2-2.5) natural cornice falls were again reported in the alpine.

On Monday around Whistler, a few large (size 2-2.5) natural cornice falls were reported in the alpine.

Also, numerous small, dry and wet loose avalanches were reported on steep slopes. These were either triggered by the sun, or purposely triggered by humans.

Snowpack Summary

up to 20 cm of new snow has accumulated at treeline and above. Moderate South or Southeast winds will make deeper, denser deposits in leeward terrain.

This falls on generally wind-affected snow in much of the alpine and open treeline, breakable crust on steep slopes that usually face the sun, and dry, loose snow in sheltered, shaded areas.

60 to 90 cm of mostly settled snow overlies the thick and hard mid-March crust below about 2200 m, and old wind-affected snow above 2200 m. Around Whistler, some facets have been reported around this crust.

Many operators are commenting on how large the cornices have formed this year.

The snowpack below the mid-March crust is wet but well settled and strong.

Weather Summary

Wednesday Night
Mostly cloudy. 4 to 10 cm of snow. 10 km/h east ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C. Freezing level 1400 m.

Thursday
Mostly cloudy. 1 to 2 mm of precipitation as snow or rain at treeline. 10 km/h northwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -1 °C. Freezing level 1500 m.

Friday
Mostly cloudy. 5 cm of snow. 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C. Freezing level 1300 m.

Saturday
Mix of sun and clouds. 1 to 2 cm of snow. 30 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -1 °C. Freezing level 1400 m.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Confidence: moderate
We are uncertain due to the track and intensity of the incoming weather system.
The snowpack structure is well understood.

Sheltered, shaded terrain holds the best riding, but large cornices above may be a concern.
Space out to avoid exposing multiple people to a slope at once, and give cornices a wide berth.

Terrain and Travel Advice:
  • Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
  • Be alert to conditions that change with elevation, aspect, and exposure to wind.
  • Avoid terrain traps such as gullies and cliffs where the consequence of any avalanche could be serious.
Cornice cornice

Cornices are large and fragile.

Avalanche Summary

On Monday, north of Pemberton, small loose dry, rider triggered avalanches and sluffs were reported in steep terrain.

If you are heading into the backcountry, consider sharing your observations and posting a MIN.

Snowpack Summary

New snow could give a light refresh to the upper snowpack in sheltered areas.

Expect to find 30 to 50 cm of settling snow over a thick and hard crust below about 1900 m, and old wind-affected snow at upper elevations.

Steep slopes that usually face the sun may have a thin breakable crust on or near the surface.

Two older crusts (1-1.5 m deep), buried in early February and March previously produced large to very large avalanches, but they seem to have gained strength and are not a current concern.

Weather Summary

Wednesday Night
Mostly cloudy. 3 to 10 cm of snow. 10 km/h east ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C. Freezing level 1600 m.

Thursday
Mostly cloudy. 1 to 3 cm of snow. 20 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C. Freezing level 1600 m.

Friday
Mostly cloudy. 1 to 2 cm of snow. 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.

Saturday
Mix of sun and clouds. 1 cm of snow. 40 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.
