There's still a bit of winter hanging on in the alpine. Cornices yet to drop, dry snow yet to shed in a wet loose cycle, maybe even a stubborn wind slab or two. Pack sunglasses, not blinders!

Terrain and Travel Advice:
  • Carefully evaluate steep lines for wind slabs.
  • Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
  • Rocks will heat up with daytime warming and may become trigger points for loose wet avalanches.
  • Limit exposure to steep, sun exposed slopes, especially when the solar radiation is strong.
  • Avalanche activity is unlikely when a thick melt-freeze crust is present on the snow surface.
Cornice cornice

Large, fragile cornices exist. Be aware of overhead hazard, and stay back from overhanging cornices on ridgelines.

Wet Loose

Slushy, isothermal snow conditions can emerge on sun-facing slopes during the heat of the day. Plan your route with this dynamic in mind to avoid getting surprised by difficult travel and rising wet loose avalanche danger.

Wind Slab

Wind slabs may still be triggerable on north facing, alpine slopes less affected by recent sun and warming.

Avalanche Summary

Avalanche activity has quieted since the weekend warmup, but several more natural wet loose avalanches up to size 2.5 were observed in the Whistler area again on Monday. This was focused on west aspects above 2000 m. Ski cutting produced several size 1.5 releases.

On the weekend, wet loose activity was reported at all elevations to size 2.5. In addition, numerous cornice falls and wind slab avalanches were reported.

Snowpack Summary

Spring-like melt-freeze cycles now characterize a daily evolution of surface conditions on all but north-facing slopes above 2000 m, where 10 to 20 cm of dry snow may still be found.

A crust/facet layer from late March sits 20 to 80 cm deep. It isn't presently a concern but perhaps gives cornice falls from high north aspects some chance of triggering a slab.

A thick crust sits 80-100 cm deep. Near Whistler, some facets have been reported around this crust. The snowpack below is moist, but well settled and strong.

Weather Summary

Tuesday Night
Clear skies. 10 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 0 °C. Freezing level 1600 m.

Wednesday
Sunny. 10 km/h northwest ridgetop wind. Treeline high temperature 2 °C. Freezing level to 1800 m.

Thursday
Sunny. 10 km/h east ridgetop wind. Treeline high temperature 6 °C. Freezing level to 2500 m.

Friday
Sunny before clouding over near end-of-day. 5 to 20 km/h southeast ridgetop wind, increasing. Treeline high temperature 7 °C. Freezing level to 2700 m.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Cornice cornice

Large, fragile cornices exist. Be aware of overhead hazard, and stay back from overhanging cornices on ridgelines.

Cornice falls are probably the most effective--if not one of the only--triggers for a slab avalanche right now.

Wet Loose

Slushy, isothermal snow conditions can emerge on sun-facing slopes during the heat of the day. Plan your route with this dynamic in mind to avoid getting surprised by difficult travel and rising wet loose avalanche danger.

Avalanche Summary

Explosives control in the Duffey on Monday produced mainly small wet loose avalanches but also a few slabs up to size 1.5. One of these failed on the 30 - 40 cm-deep late-March crust.

On Sunday, wet loose activity was reported to size 2, along with several wind slabs. Check out the report for one of them HERE. Mild temperatures since then have likely helped to stabilize wind slabs, but local operators are still including them in hazard assessments.

If you get out, post a MIN!

Snowpack Summary

Spring-like melt-freeze cycles now characterize a daily evolution of surface conditions on all but north-facing slopes above 2000 m, where about 10 cm of dry snow may still be found. It overlies old wind-affected snow above this elevation and firm crust below.

Two older crusts exist 1-1.5 m deep at treeline and above. Concern for these layers is limited to high north aspects where large cornice fall may have enough force to trigger a slab. The mid and lower snowpack are otherwise well settled.

Weather Summary

Tuesday Night
Clear skies. 10 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C. Freezing level falling from 1800 m to 1500 m.

Wednesday
Sunny. 15 km/h northwest ridgetop wind. Treeline high temperature 1 °C. Freezing level to 2100 m.

Thursday
Sunny. 10 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline high temperature 3 °C. Freezing level to 2400 m.

Friday
Sunny. 20 to 40 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline high temperature 5 °C. Freezing level to 2700 m.
