Winter returned to the mountains.
Triggering fresh storm slabs is possible on steep open slopes.
WednesdayThursdayFriday
AlpineConsiderableModerateModerate
TreelineModerateModerateLow
Below TreelineLowLowLow

Terrain and Travel Advice:
  • Use careful route-finding and stick to moderate angled slopes with low consequences.
  • Stay off recently wind loaded slopes until they have had a chance to stabilize.
  • Back off if you encounter whumpfing, hollow sounds, or shooting cracks.
Storm Slab

A short, intense storm on Tuesday brought 20 to 50 cm of new snow.

Storm slabs may be triggered in parts of the region that received heavier accumulations, and on steep wind-loaded slopes.

Avalanche Summary

Tuesday’s storm follows a period of limited avalanche activity, with reports of size 1 to 1.5 cornices failures and wet loose avalanches.

Looking ahead, concerns shift to the new snow: initially storm slabs in steep terrain, then lingering wind slabs, and eventually wet loose avalanches with sun and warming.

Snowpack Summary

Snowfall amounts will vary with location and elevation, so verify in the field and use more conservative terrain where snowfall is deeper. About 20 cm is expected east of Whistler, 30 cm west of Whistler and near Squamish, and up to 40 cm in higher terrain on the North Shore.

This snow falls on a mix of crusts and moist or isothermal snow, depending on aspect and elevation.

The snowpack has undergone multiple melt-freeze cycles, forming a series of crusts with dense, rounded snow between.

Weather Summary

Tuesday Night

Partly cloudy. Another 5 to 10 cm of snow ending around midnight. 30 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -7 °C.

Wednesday

Mix of sun and clouds. 0 to 2 cm of snow. 10 km/h northwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C. Freezing level 1200 m.

Thursday

Mostly sunny. 20 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C. Freezing level 1300 m.

Friday

Mix of sun and clouds. 0 to 1 cm of snow. 10 km/h south ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -1 °C. Freezing level 1500 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.

Terrain and Travel Advice:
  • Approach lee and cross-loaded slopes with caution.
  • Dial back your terrain choices if you are seeing more than 20 cm of new snow.
Wind Slab

Tuesday's storm brought 15 to 30 cm of new snow and strong southerly wind.

Wind slabs are likely on steep wind-loaded slopes, especially in parts of the region that received heavier accumulations.

Avalanche Summary

Tuesday’s storm follows a period of low danger and limited avalanche activity.

Looking ahead, concerns shift to the new snow forming wind slabs, and eventually wet loose avalanches with sun and warming.

If you go into the backcountry, support the forecast by posting a MIN.

Snowpack Summary

10 to 20 cm of new snow is expected by the end of Tuesday. This new snow overlies a melt-freeze crust, moist snow, or isothermal conditions, depending on aspect and elevation.

The snowpack has undergone multiple warming and cooling cycles, forming a series of crusts interspersed with dense, rounded grains.

Weather Summary

Tuesday Night

Partly cloudy. 3 to 10 cm of snow. 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -10 °C.

Wednesday

Mix of sun and clouds. 0 to 2 cm of snow. 10 km/h northwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -7 °C.

Thursday

Mix of sun and clouds. 1 to 3 cm of snow. 30 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -3 °C. Freezing level 1700 m.

Friday

Mix of sun and clouds. 0 to 2 cm of snow. 20 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C. Freezing level 1800 m.
