Rising temperatures and full sun will create ideal conditions for loose wet avalanches. Watch for likely trigger points, like rocky outcrops where warming is most intense.
Wind slabs remain triggerable on high north facing slopes unaffected by the sun and rising temperatures.
Cornices are large and fragile. Avoid travelling on or under them during the heat of the day. Avalanche Summary On Saturday, numerous wind slabs were reported in alpine north-facing terrain from rider and explosive triggers to size 1.5. South-facing slopes at all elevations produced natural and rider triggered wet avalanches, also to size 1.5. On Friday, explosive avalanche control produced multiple large (size 2-2.5) cornice avalanches. There are also reports of extensive older loose wet avalanche debris in the Sky Pilot area. Snowpack SummaryWhile overnight cooling may produce a surface crust, snow surfaces will rapidly become moist/wet with sunshine and rising temperatures. High north facing slopes may still hold dry, cold snow. Many operators are commenting on large cornices - give them a wide berth as temperatures rise. A thick crust sits 80-100 cm deep. Near Whistler, some facets have been reported around this crust. The snowpack below the mid-March crust is wet but well settled and strong. Weather SummarySunday Night More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast. Confidence: highWe have a good understanding of the snowpack structure and confidence in the weather forecast. We are confident the likelihood of avalanches will increase with the forecast weather. Sky Pilot Issued by: avalanche-canada Issued at: Sun Apr 5, 2026 16:00 PST Valid Until Mon Apr 6, 2026 16:00 PST

Rising temperatures and full sun will create ideal conditions for loose wet avalanches. Watch for likely trigger points, like rocky outcrops where warming is most intense.
Cornices are large and fragile, with warming temperatures there is a chance that a cornice fall may trigger a large, deeper avalanche on slopes below.
Two crusts, buried in early February (facets on top) and March seem to be gaining strength. It's still smart to avoid thin, rocky areas on steep slopes, and avoid exposing yourself to slopes below large cornices. Avalanche Summary On Saturday, wind slabs were reported in alpine north-facing terrain and south-facing slopes at all elevations produced wet avalanches. If you are heading into the backcountry, consider sharing your observations and posting a MIN. Snowpack SummaryWhile overnight cooling may produce a surface crust, snow surfaces will rapidly become moist/wet with sunshine and rising temperatures. High north facing slopes may still hold dry, cold snow. Many operators are commenting on large cornices - give them a wide berth as temperatures rise. 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. Two older crusts (1-1.5 m deep) previously produced large to very large avalanches, but they seem to have gained strength and are not a current concern. However, each day of warm weather may increase the likelihood of these layers becoming active again. Weather SummarySunday Night More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast. Confidence: highWe have a good understanding of the snowpack structure and confidence in the weather forecast. We are confident the likelihood of avalanches will increase with the forecast weather. We are confident the snowpack will rapidly weaken with the forecast weather. |
