This snow lands on a variety of surfaces including crust, surface hoar, or wind slab. On sheltered or northern aspects, there is potential to have the avalanche step down to deeper weak layers in the snowpack.
Avalanche Summary Over the weekend, explosives triggered several small storm and wind slab avalanches. There were reports of some of these stepping down to the January drought layer on north aspects. Several dry loose avalanches in steep terrain were also reported. Snowpack SummaryNew snow lands on up to 10 cm of wind affected snow that fell over the weekend. In sheltered terrain this new snow may overlie soft, faceted snow or surface hoar. In exposed terrain it will overlie a sun crust or wind-affected snow. A weak layer that was buried at the end of January is down 30 to 80 cm in the snowpack. Depending on where you are, it'll be a combination of different crystals. With crusts on sunny slopes, sugary facets in most places, and surface hoar in sheltered spots. The mid and lower snowpack is strong and bonded. Weather SummaryTuesday Night Mostly cloudy with up to 5 mm of mixed precipitation. 20 to 40 km/h southeast ridgetop wind. Freezing level 1300 m. Wednesday Cloudy with up to 10 to 30 mm of mixed precipitation. 25 to 50 km/h southeast ridgetop wind. Freezing level 1500 m. Thursday Mostly cloudy with 1 to 3 mm of mixed precipitation. 20 to 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Freezing level 1300 m. Friday Cloudy with up to 10 to 20 mm of mixed precipitation. 20 to 50 km/h southeast ridgetop wind. Freezing level 1600 m. More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast. Confidence: moderateUncertainty is due to how buried persistent weak layers will react with the forecast incoming weather.

The recent storm snow is not bonding well to the underlying weak layers. This problem is most prevelant at treeline and above in wind loaded features. Avalanche Summary Numerous size 1 skier triggered storm and wind slab avalanches were reported over the weekend. These avalanches were typically at treeline or above on north and east aspects. Reports indicate that the recent storm snow is not bonding well to the underlying weak layers as these avalanches were easy to trigger. Snowpack SummaryNew snow falls on 15 to 25 cm of snow from the weekend, which fell with southerly wind, forming deeper slabs on northerly aspects. In sheltered terrain this new snow may overlie soft, faceted snow or surface hoar. In exposed terrain it will overlie a sun crust or wind-affected snow. At lower elevations a new crust likely exists below the storm snow. A late-January weak layer (hard crust, facets, or surface hoar) is buried 80 to 120 cm deep, this layer could become reactive the more the precipitation adds load on it. The lower snowpack is strong and bonded. Weather SummaryTuesday Night Cloudy with up to 18 mm of mixed precipitation. 25 to 70 km/h southeast ridgetop wind. Freezing level 1400 m. Wednesday Cloudy with 15 to 50 mm of mixed precipitation. 50 to 70 km/h southeast ridgetop wind. Freezing level 1400 m. Thursday Cloudy with 10 to 40 mm of mixed precipitation. 30 to 50 km/h west ridgetop wind. Freezing level 1000 m. Friday Cloudy with 10 to 50 mm of mixed precipitation. 40 to 60 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Freezing level 1500 m. More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast. Confidence: moderateForecast precipitation (either snow or rain) amounts are uncertain. Uncertainty is due to whether buried persistent weak layers become active, triggering avalanches, with the arrival of the forecast weather. Uncertainty is due to rapidly fluctuating freezing levels.

Small wind slabs may be triggerable in steep terrain.
Loose-dry avalanches are most likely in steep terrain sheltered from wind. Avalanche Summary Numerous small (up to size 1.5) dry loose avalanches have been reported recently throughout the region, both natural and skier-triggered. No recent slab avalanches have been reported. Snowpack SummaryAs much as 10 cm of new snow has accumulated in areas, with variable wind, potentially forming new wind slabs in exposed terrain. This new snow may overlie soft, faceted snow or surface hoar in sheltered terrain. A sun crust likely exists at or just below the surface on south-facing slopes. 20 to 50 cm overlies a variety of layers from late January. In most areas, it is a hard slippery crust, however, on shady, upper-elevation slopes, it may be weak faceted grains or surface hoar. The mid and lower snowpack is strong and bonded. Weather SummaryTuesday Night Cloudy with up to 5 cm of snow. 20 to 40 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -5 °C. Wednesday Cloudy with up to 10 cm of snow. 30 to 50 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C. Thursday Cloudy with up to 2 cm of snow. 20 to 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C. Friday Cloudy with up to 5 cm of snow. 40 to 60 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C. More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast. Confidence: highThe snowpack structure is generally well understood. |
