Danger ratingsProblemsDetails

Freezing levels are rising. If you experience rain falling on dry snow, expect hazard to increase rapidly.
Wind continues to blow, be careful transitioning into wind-affected terrain.

Terrain and Travel Advice:
  • The more the snowpack warms up and weakens, the more conservative your terrain selection should be.
  • Avoid freshly wind-loaded terrain features.
  • Use extra caution for areas that are experiencing rapidly warming temperatures for the first time.
  • Use extra caution around cornices: they are large, fragile, and can trigger slabs on slopes below.
Wind Slab

Up to 20 cm of new snow arrived in the last storm. Be careful transitioning into wind-loaded areas where you may find deeper deposits or where the new snow overlies a crust below.

Wet Loose

As freezing levels rise, expect loose wet activity to occur. Take note of signs of warming like snow becoming sticky, dripping trees, snow bombs falling, or roller balls rolling downhill.

Avalanche Summary

On Thursday, several natural and skier accidental size 1 to 1.5 wind slab avalanches occurred. Additionally, one natural avalanche was caused by cornice fall. Recent weather has formed large fragile cornices.

On Wednesday, explosive work produced several size 1 to 2 storm slab avalanches in the Whistler area as well as a couple size 2 cornice avalanches.

On Tuesday, explosive work produced several size 2 cornice avalanches in the Whistler area.

Snowpack Summary

Up to 30 cm of recent snow that arrived with strong southerly winds has been redistributed into deeper deposits in wind-loaded areas. This new snow overlies a melt-freeze crust on solar aspects and previously wind-affected surfaces at higher elevations.

Below treeline snow is rain-soaked and becoming isothermal.

30 to 60 cm of storm snow from the past week may be sitting on a layer of surface hoar, facets or a crust. There has been no reactivity on these layers recently.

Another weak layer consisting of a crust with facets from early February is buried 50 to 100+ cm deep. There has been no reactivity on this layer in tests or in avalanches recently.

The remaining snowpack appears to be well settled and bonded.

Weather Summary

Friday Night

Cloudy. 1 to 2 mm of precipitation. 50 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 0 °C. Freezing level 1600 m.

Saturday

Cloudy. 2 to 5 mm of precipitation. 50 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 0 °C. Freezing level 1700 m.

Sunday

Mostly cloudy. 15 to 20 cm of snow. 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C. Freezing level 1300 m.

Monday

Mostly cloudy. 5 cm of snow. 30 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -8 °C.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Confidence: moderate
We are uncertain due to a highly variable snowpack.
We are uncertain due to rapidly changing freezing levels.

A significant jump in freezing levels combined with rain is going to increase hazard.
Avoid avalanche terrain and be prepared to change your plans if you see rain falling on dry snow.

AlpineHighConsiderableConsiderable
TreelineConsiderableModerateModerate
Below TreelineModerateLowLow

Terrain and Travel Advice:
  • The first few hours of rain will likely be the most dangerous period.
  • Avalanche danger will rapidly increase if snow switches to rain.
  • Avoid avalanche terrain during periods of heavy rain.
Wet Loose

Danger will be highest where dry snow is seeing rain for the first time.

Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanche activity has been reported, however we expect that the warm temperatures and high freezing levels have caused a loose wet cycle.

If you head out, please consider posting your observations to the Mountain Information Network.

Snowpack Summary

The snow is getting rain-soaked to mountain top, when the freezing levels starting to drop we expect a surface crust to form. Much of the snowpack is likely becoming isothermal.

The mid and lower snowpack are generally strong and well-bonded.

Typical treeline snow depths range from 100 to 150 cm, and thins quickly below treeline, especially on south-facing slopes.

Weather Summary

Friday Night

Cloudy. 4 to 5 mm of precipitation. 30 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 1 °C. Freezing level 2000 m.

Saturday

Cloudy. 4 to 10 mm of rain. 40 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 2 °C. Freezing level 2500 m dropping to 1700 m by the end of the day.

Sunday

Mostly cloudy. 20 to 30 mm of precipitation. 40 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -1 °C. Freezing level 1200 m.

Monday

Mix of sun and clouds. 3 to 5 cm of snow. 30 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -7 °C.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Confidence: moderate
We are uncertain if precipitation will fall as rain or snow.
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.

Strong wind and rising freezing levels will modify the snowpack rapidly.
We are uncertain if the warmer temperatures will "wake up" the persistent slab.

Terrain and Travel Advice:
  • The more the snowpack warms up and weakens, the more conservative your terrain selection should be.
  • Be aware of the potential for large avalanches due to buried weak layers.
  • Be careful as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
  • Use extra caution around cornices: they are large, fragile, and can trigger slabs on slopes below.
Wind Slab

Wind slabs may step down to buried weak layers. Avoid wind-loaded features.

Wet Loose

Freezing levels are rising over the weekend. Take extra caution where snow is seeing rain for the first time. Be very aware of overhead hazard.

Persistent Slab

Several persistent weak layers of surface hoar, facets or crusts may be buried in the top meter of the snowpack. Wind slabs could step down to these layers, causing larger-than-expected avalanches.

Avalanche Summary

On Thursday, a few natural cornice falls were noted, with only one triggering a small wind slab on the slope below.

No new avalanches have been reported on Tuesday or Wednesday.

On Monday, there was a natural avalanche cycle, mostly size 2, on solar slopes.

Snowpack Summary

Up to 25 cm of new snow has fallen at upper elevations in the past three days. Strong south and west winds will have redistributed this snow into deeper deposits in wind-loaded areas. This new snow overlies a melt-freeze crust on solar aspects and lower elevations, and wind-affected layers at higher elevations.

A couple of persistent weak layers buried in the last week may exist in the upper 30 to 60 cm of the snowpack. These consist of surface hoar, facets and crusts.

Buried around 60 to 100 cm is a prominent, persistent weak layer of facets and crust from early February.

The remaining snowpack appears to be strong and well-bonded.

Weather Summary

Friday Night

Cloudy. 1 mm of precipitation. 70 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C. Freezing level 1800 m.

Saturday

Cloudy. 2 to 5 mm of precipitation. 80 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -1 °C. Freezing level 1800 m.

Sunday

Mostly cloudy. 4 to 10 cm of snow. 60 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -4 °C.

Monday

Mix of sun and clouds. 1 to 5 cm of snow. 30 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -11 °C.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Confidence: moderate
We are confident that there are persistent slabs in the snowpack, but uncertain about how likely they are to trigger.
We are confident that there are weak cornices, but uncertain about how likely they are to trigger.
