Wind slabs have been reactive and may remain triggerable on steep, lee features.
Check for potential slabs before entering committing terrain.

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.
  • Be careful as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
  • Limit exposure to steep, sun exposed slopes, especially when the solar radiation is strong.
Wind Slab

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.

Wet Loose

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

Thursday

  • An avalanche near the Duffey resulted in assistance from search and rescue. See photo.

  • Several size 1 to 2 skier-triggered slabs & reports of whumpfing & shooting cracks.

  • Natural wet loose sluffs and cornice falls to size 1.5.

Wednesday

  • Numerous skier-triggered and natural storm slabs up to size 2.5, mostly on northerly alpine slopes.

Looking Ahead

  • Wind slabs will continue to be most concerning on lee north and east-facing features.

Snowpack Summary

15 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 surface 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 Summary

Friday Night
Mostly clear skies. 20 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C. Freezing level 1500 m.

Saturday
Sunny. 20 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 1 °C. Freezing level rising to 2100 m.

Sunday
Mix of sun and clouds. 40 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 6 °C. Freezing level rising to 2700 m.

Monday
Sunny. 20 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 8 °C. Freezing level rising to 3000 m.


More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Confidence: moderate
We are uncertain about how quickly the snowpack will recover and gain strength.
We are confident due to a stable weather pattern.

Terrain and Travel Advice:
  • Small avalanches can have serious consequences in extreme terrain. Carefully evaluate your line for slabs before you commit to it.
  • Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
  • Limit exposure to steep, sun exposed slopes, especially when the solar radiation is strong.
Wet Loose

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

No recent avalanches have been reported. However, observations are extremely limited at this time of year.

Looking ahead, some wet loose activity may be possible during the warmest parts of the day on sunny slopes. Small, isolated wind slabs may remain triggerable on lee alpine slopes.

Snowpack Summary

Soft, dry powder can still be found on shady upper elevation slopes. Storm snow from earlier in the week has largely settled and bonded to the underlying crust. Small, isolated wind slabs may still exist at upper elevations on northerly slopes.

Sun-affected slopes have a hard surface crust, which will likely melt and soften with daytime warming, improving the riding quality.

The remaining snowpack shows no concerning layers at this time, and areas below treeline are largely below the threshold for avalanche activity.

Weather Summary

Friday Night
Mostly clear skies. 10 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 1 °C. Freezing level 1600 m.

Saturday
Mostly sunny. 20 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 5 °C. Freezing level rising to 2100 m.

Sunday
Mix of sun and clouds. 20 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 10 °C. Freezing level rising to 2800 m.

Monday
Mostly sunny. 10 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 12 °C. Freezing level rising to 3000 m.



More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Confidence: moderate
We 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.
