Avalanche Bulletin
Granby Issued by: avalanche-canada Issued at: Mon Jan 12, 2026 16:00 PST Valid Until Tue Jan 13, 2026 16:00 PST
New snow and wind are forming fresh and reactive wind slabs in leeward terrain features at upper elevations.
Steep terrain at lower elevations are most likely to produce wet loose avalanches. Be cognizant of you location in the terrain as even a small wet avalanche could push you over a cliff or into a terrain trap. Avalanche Summary On Sunday, a few loose wet avalanches where observed at lower elevations on steep terrain. Avalanche control works near silver star resort produced several small (size 1) storm slabs and one persistent slab avalanche that failed on the deep layer from December. estimated to be down 50 to 70 cm deep. On Saturday, a skier reportedly triggered a small persistent slab avalanche in the trees, running on a crust buried in mid December. Snowpack Summary15 to 20 cm of recent snow will begin to settle, become moist and as temperatures rise lose cohesion. Strong to moderate south west wind is forming new wind slabs on lee aspects in the alpine and at treeline. In specific areas that are protected from the wind, surface hoar has been located and found down up to 20 cm. The mid to lower snowpack contains a few crust/facet layers including one buried in mid December, now 50 to 70 cm deep. Weather SummaryMonday Night More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast. Confidence: moderateUncertainty is due to rapidly fluctuating freezing levels. Forecast precipitation (either snow or rain) amounts are uncertain. Coquihalla Issued by: avalanche-canada Issued at: Mon Jan 12, 2026 16:00 PST Valid Until Tue Jan 13, 2026 16:00 PST
Saturated surface layers can be found even at upper elevations. Wet loose avalanches are expected on steep slopes at all elevations. Sunny breaks in the afternoon could increase the reactivity.
Cornices are large and overhanging and may release during the day with warm temperatures and possible sunny breaks. Avalanche Summary Several size 2 wet loose avalanches were reported on Monday. Rain has tapered, but warm temperatures and high freezing levels will keep human triggering of wet loose avalanches possible. Snowpack SummaryRain or wet snow above 2000 m from the past 24 hours has saturated the upper snowpack and has rapidly settled 50 to 80 cm of storm snow from last week. High freezing levels will keep the surface snow moist throughout the day. The mid-December crust is 100 to 250 cm deep. This crust is 30 cm thick and well-bonded to the snow above. Weather SummaryMonday Night More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast. Confidence: lowUncertainty is due to how the snowpack will react to the forecast weather.

New snow and wind are building fresh and reactive slabs.
A reactive layer of surface hoar is buried around 1 m deep. Additional snow load and warming will increase the likelihood of triggering, as well as the size of avalanches running on this layer.
Expect wet loose to be very sensitive to triggering on steep terrain at treeline elevations and below. Avalanche Summary On Sunday a few small storm slab avalanches where reported, failing on a the surface hoar layer. These avalanches were in areas protected from the wind, such as small opening in areas of dense trees. Last week, large natural persistent slab avalanches were widespread size 2 to 3.5. Up to 90 cm of recent snow has been transported by strong south winds. In areas protected from the wind, a surface hoar layer can be found down 100 cm. The prominent mid-December crust is now buried around 1.5 m deep, and is present up to 2300 m. Triggering this layer is considered unlikely, except with large loads or in thin snowpack areas. Weather SummaryMonday Night More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast. Confidence: highWe are confident the likelihood of avalanche will increase with the arrival of the forecast weather. |
