As east winds increase through the day Monday, watch for fresh wind slabs forming on north and west slopes at upper elevations. Avalanche Summary On Saturday, several natural loose dry avalanches, up to size 1, were reported at treeline and above. A skier accidental size 1.5 storm slab avalanche was reported on a steep, north aspect at 1500 m. Snowpack Summary15-30 cm of recent snow and light to moderate southerly winds have formed small wind slabs on lee features at upper elevations. These slabs overlie hard crusts on all sunny aspects and mixture of decomposing dry snow and possible small surface hoar in isolated locations on shady aspects. The mid and lower snowpack is generally well settled and strong. At the bottom of the snowpack, a layer of weak facets remains present and continues to be monitored for signs of reactivity. Weather SummarySunday Night Scattered clouds clear through the night. Light southeast ridgetop wind. Temperatures at treeline reach a low of -8 C. Freezing levels drop to valley bottom. Monday Mainly sunny with a few convective clouds bringing isolated localized flurries, trace accumulation. Moderate east ridgetop wind. Temperatures at treeline reach a high of -3 C. Freezing level 1500 m. Tuesday Sunny. Strong east ridgetop wind. Temperatures at treeline reach a high of -2 C. Freezing level 1600 m. Wednesday Sunny. Light northwest ridgetop wind. Temperatures at treeline reach a high of 0 C. Freezing level 1800 m. More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast. Confidence: highThe snowpack structure is generally well understood.

As southeast winds increase through the day Monday, watch for small pockets of fresh wind slab forming on north and west slopes at upper elevations. Avalanche Summary On Saturday, several rider triggered dry loose avalanches up to size 1 on steep treeline and alpine features. A few small natural and skier triggered wind slab avalanches were reported at treeline where the wind had built more cohesive pockets of snow. If you head out in the backcountry, let us know what you are seeing by submitting a report to the Mountain Information Network. Snowpack Summary15-30 cm of recent snow and light southwesterly wind may have formed small wind slabs on lee features at upper elevations. Below the recent snow is a melt-freeze crust, existing on all aspects at treeline and below. The crust extends to mountain tops on sunny aspects. In north facing high alpine terrain the surface snow may have remained cold and dry. The mid and lower snowpack are generally well settled and strong. Weather SummarySunday Night Mostly cloudy with isolated flurries, trace accumulation. Light southeast ridgetop wind. Temperatures at treeline reach a low of -5 C. Freezing level 800 m. Monday Mainly sunny. Moderate southeast ridgetop wind. Temperatures at treeline reach a high of +2 C. Freezing level 1500 m Tuesday Sunny. Strong east ridgetop wind. Temperatures at treeline reach a high of +3 C. Freezing level 1700 m. Wednesday Sunny. Light northeast ridgetop wind. Temperatures at treeline reach a high of +4 C. Freezing level 1700 m. More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast. Confidence: highThe snowpack structure is generally well understood.

A layer of weak facets sits near the base of the snowpack. This layer is most likely to be problematic in steep, wind affected terrain where the snowpack depth varies from thick to thin. Especially in the northern part of the region around the Chilcotins, Birkenhead, and Hurley. Recent natural avalanche activity was observed on this layer, likely triggered by warm temperatures and strong sunshine heating the snowpack.
10-20 cm of recent snow and light to moderate southwesterly wind may have formed small wind slabs on lee features at upper elevations. Avalanche Summary No new avalanches were reported in the region on Saturday. On Friday, a couple of cornice failures triggered loose dry avalanches up to size 2 on large alpine slopes. A couple of deep persistent slab avalanches were reported this week. On Wednesday, a cornice fall entrained a mass of snow which then triggered a size 3 deep persistent slab avalanche. It occurred at 2350 m on a north east facing slope. On Tuesday, a size 2.5 deep persistent slab avalanche was reported in the South Chilcotin range, around 2200 m on a south-facing slope. Snowpack Summary10-20 cm of recent snow and light to moderate southwesterly wind may have formed small wind slabs on lee features at upper elevations. Below the new snow is a melt freeze crust exists on all aspects at treeline and below, and on solar aspects to mountain top. On high north aspects is a mixture of decomposing dry snow and small surface hoar in isolated locations. The mid-snowpack is generally strong but the lower snowpack is a different story. A weak layer of sugary facets is still prominent at the base of the snowpack. Small surface avalanches and cornice falls are the most likely things to trigger this layer. However, there remains a significant concern for human triggering in rocky, shallow, or thin-to-thick snowpack areas at treeline and above. Weather SummarySunday Night Clear skies. Light southeast ridgetop wind. Temperatures at treeline reach a low of -8 C. Freezing levels drop to valley bottom. Monday Sunny with convective clouds bringing isolated localized flurries, trace accumulation. Light east ridgetop wind. Temperatures at treeline reach a high of -5 C. Freezing level 1400 m. Tuesday Sunny. Strong northeast ridgetop wind. Temperatures at treeline reach a high of -1 C. Freezing level 1500 m. Wednesday Mix of sun and cloud. Light northwest ridgetop wind. Temperatures at treeline reach a high of 0 C. Freezing level 1800 m. More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast. Confidence: highThe snowpack structure is generally well understood. |
