Danger ratingsProblemsDetails

Warm temperatures and high freezing levels are keeping avalanche hazard elevated.
The snowpack needs time to adjust to this significant warming, avoid travel in avalanche terrain.

Below TreelineConsiderableModerateLow

Terrain and Travel Advice:
  • Travel in alpine terrain is not recommended.
  • Only the most simple non-avalanche terrain with no overhead hazard is appropriate at this time.
  • Keep in mind that the high density of wet avalanches can make them destructive.
  • Use extra caution around cornices: they are large, fragile, and can trigger slabs on slopes below.
Storm Slab

Natural storm slabs above 2000 m, and wet slabs below will remain possible, human triggered avalanches are likely.

Wet Loose

Warm temperatures with the possibility of sunny breaks will keep wet loose avalanche activity possible to human-trigger.

Cornice cornice

Strong wind and precipitation at the beginning of the storm have developed large overhanging cornices that will remain touchy with warm temperatures and sunny breaks.

Avalanche Summary

On Monday, a widespread wet slab and wet loose avalanche cycle was reported.

Cornices are reported to be over-hanging and fragile. As the freezing levels rise even further and the sun comes out we expect natural avalanche activity to continue.

Snowpack Summary

Rain and heavy wet snow above 2000 m has saturated the upper snowpack, this overlies last weeks storm snow. This rain-on-snow event is the trigger for numerous wet slab avalanches up to size 2.

With freezing levels forecasted to rise further tomorrow with sunny breaks in the afternoon surface snow will remain moist and reactive.

The mid-December crust is 100 to 200 cm deep and reaches up to 2200 m. It's well-bonded to the snow above. Above 2200 m, a layer of facets and a crust from November is at the base of the snowpack. These layers are not currently a concern.

Weather Summary

Monday Night
Cloudy. 15 to 25 mm of rain at treeline. 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 3 °C. Freezing level 2500 m.

Tuesday
Mix of sun and clouds. 1 mm of rain at treeline. 20 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 3 °C. Freezing level 2900 m.

Wednesday
Mix of sun and clouds. 2 to 4 mm of rain at treeline. 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 3 °C. Freezing level 2600 m.

Thursday
Sunny. 10 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 3 °C. Freezing level 2900 m.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Confidence: moderate
Uncertainty is due to how the snowpack will react to the forecast weather.

Freezing levels are forecast to soar on Tuesday. Human-triggered wet loose avalanches remain possible.
Avoid steep terrain where a wet loose avalanche is most likely to be triggered.

Terrain and Travel Advice:
  • Keep in mind that the high density of wet avalanches can make them destructive.
  • Use extra caution for areas that are experiencing rapidly warming temperatures for the first time.
Wet Loose

A saturated upper snowpack and warm temperatures with high freezing levels may keep human-triggered wet-loose avalanches possible.

Avalanche Summary

human-triggered avalanche activity may continue throughout the day with the forecasted warm temperatures and high freezing levels.

Snowpack Summary

The upper snowpack is saturated and will remain moist while freezing levels are elevated.

Rain has rapidly settled the snowpack.

The mid and lower snowpack has two crusts that are between 50 and 150 cm deep. These crusts are not currently a concern.

Weather Summary

Monday Night
Cloudy. 5 to 10 mm of rain at treeline. 60 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 5 °C. Freezing level 2600 m.

Tuesday
Mostly cloudy. 1 to 2 mm of rain at treeline. 20 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 5 °C. Freezing level 3300 m.

Wednesday
Mostly sunny. 2 mm of rain at treeline. 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 5 °C. Freezing level 2900 m.

Thursday
Sunny. 10 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 6 °C. Freezing level 3100 m.

Heavy precipitation, rising freezing levels, and large, fragile cornices are keeping hazard elevated.
Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended.

TreelineConsiderableConsiderableModerate
Below TreelineConsiderableModerateModerate

Terrain and Travel Advice:
  • Avoid exposure to overhead avalanche terrain; avalanches may run surprisingly far.
  • Wet avalanche activity may step down to deeply buried persistent weak layers at lower elevations.
  • Be aware of the potential for large avalanches due to buried surface hoar.
  • Use extra caution around cornices: they are large, fragile, and can trigger slabs on slopes below.
Storm Slab

Heavy precipitation, rising freezing levels and sunny breaks are combined to keep storm slabs reactive. Cornice triggers are also a concern, where strong wind and snow at upper elevations has been intense.

Persistent Slab

A weak layer of buried surface hoar and facets is worst at treeline in areas sheltered from previous strong south and west wind. Forecasted precipitation will be testing this layer.

Wet Loose

Freezing levels are forecasted to soar on Tuesday. Sunny breaks are possible, making natural wet loose avalanche activity likely in steep terrain features.

Avalanche Summary

Numerous wet loose avalanches were reported up to size two in the Duffy Lake area.

On Monday, two explosives controlled size 3 avalanches were reported that may have released down to an early November weak layer.

Snowpack Summary

Storm snow above 1900 m is being redistributed by strong to extreme winds developing reactive storm slabs in lee features. Rain saturated surface snow is present below 1800 m.

The mid pack is settling rapidly and increases in resistance.

The lower snowpack is well consolidated snow and two melt-freeze crusts from early season.

An report of large explosive controlled avalanches may have release on one of these layers.

Weather Summary

Monday Night
Cloudy. 3 to 5 mm of rain at treeline. 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 2 °C. Freezing level 2200 m.

Tuesday
Mix of sun and clouds. 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 3 °C. Freezing level 3200 m.

Wednesday
Sunny. 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 2 °C. Freezing level 2700 m.

Thursday
Sunny. 10 km/h southeast ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 0 °C. Freezing level 2300 m.
