Wind slabs have been very reactive in the region, but should be slowly gaining strength. They may remain triggerable on steep wind-loaded alpine slopes, including the lee sides of ridges and cross-loaded features.
Sunny, warmer periods can make wet loose avalanches more likely on steep slopes. Use appropriate sluff management techniques and avoid being under cornices or steep sunny features during the warmest parts of the day. Avalanche Summary An avalanche accident off the Duffey on Thursday resulted in assistance needed from search and rescue. See photo. Several other size 1 to 2 skier-triggered avalanches also occurred. Numerous skier-triggered and natural storm slabs sized 1 to 2.5 were reported across the region on Wednesday. They generally failed on northerly alpine slopes. Looking ahead, wind slabs will continue to be most concerning on lee north and east-facing features. Snowpack Summary15 to 30 cm of storm snow from earlier this week is slowly bonding to an underlying crust. Reactive wind slabs may still exist at upper elevations on shady northerly through easterly slopes. Sun-affected slopes likely have a thin new sun crust, which may melt and soften with daytime warming. The remaining snowpack has no current layers of concern, having undergone multiple melt-freeze cycles, forming a mix of crusts and dense, rounded snow. Lower elevations may have wet or isothermal snow to ground. Weather SummaryThursday Night More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast. Confidence: moderateWe are uncertain about how quickly the snowpack will recover and gain strength. We are confident due to a stable weather pattern.

Wind slabs are slowly gaining strength, but may remain possible to trigger on steep wind-loaded alpine slopes, including the lee sides of ridges and cross-loaded features.
Sunny, warmer periods can make wet loose avalanches more likely on steep slopes. Use appropriate sluff management techniques and avoid being under cornices or steep sunny features during the warmest parts of the day. Avalanche Summary Tuesday’s storm likely produced some natural avalanches, howver none have been reported. Observations are extremely limited this time of year. Looking ahead, wind slabs will continue to be most concerning on lee north and east facing features. Wet loose avalanches will be possible during times of sun-exposure and warming on south through west aspects. Snowpack SummaryTuesday’s winter storm delivered about 50 cm to the North Shore, 30 cm in the Coquihalla, and 15 cm in Manning Park. Another 5 to 10 cm fell in the Cascades on Wednesday night. This storm snow should settle and bond to the underlying crust fairly rapidly, but wind slabs may still exist at upper elevations on shady northerly through easterly slopes. Sun-affected slopes likely have a thin new sun crust which may melt and soften with daytime warming. The remaining snowpack shows no concerning layers at this time, and areas below treeline are largely below the threshold for avalanche activity. Weather SummaryThursday Night More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast. Confidence: moderateWe are uncertain due to a limited number of field observations. We have a good understanding of the snowpack structure and confidence in the weather forecast.
