Avalanche Bulletin
Granby Issued by: avalanche-canada Issued at: Fri Apr 17, 2026 16:00 PST Valid Until Sat Apr 18, 2026 16:00 PST
Up to 50 cm of recent snow sits on a buried crust, with weak facets reported above it in some areas. Storm slabs may still be reactive to rider-triggering and could fail naturally during periods of strong sun or warm temperatures.
Wet loose avalanches will occur during calm, sunny periods. Avoid being underneath slopes in the sun.
Cornices are more likely to fall as the temperature rises and the sun comes out. Avalanche Summary In neighbouring regions to the north and east on Thursday, numerous skier-triggered wind slabs (size 1-2) were observed in the alpine. The new storm snow was bonding poorly to the crust below. Strong sun and warming on Saturday will increase the likelihood of both natural and human-triggered avalanches. Be increasingly cautious as the snowpack warms up and weakens. This region is data sparse. Please consider submitting a MIN to let us know what you're seeing out there. Snowpack Summary15 to 50 cm of recent storm snow sits on moist snow around treeline or likely on a crust in the alpine. In some areas east of Nakusp, small, weak facets have been seen on the crust. The snow also fell with moderate to strong winds, forming deeper deposits in lee terrain features. Below 1500 m, all this precipitation fell as rain, wetting an already wet and melting snowpack. The remainder of the snowpack is strong. Weather SummaryFriday Night More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast. Confidence: moderateWe are uncertain due to a limited number of field observations. We are uncertain about how the timing or intensity of warming will affect the snowpack.

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 SummarySoft, 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 SummaryFriday Night More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast. Confidence: moderateWe 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.

Winds may leave more reactive deposits around ridge lines and lee features. Strong solar radiation may increase the reactivity of recently formed storm slabs, especially on steep slopes in the alpine.
Watch for sunny skies and warm spring temperatures to trigger wet loose avalanches on solar slopes and lower elevations. Expect this problem to increase at upper elevations over the weekend alongside rising freezing levels.
Cornices are large, looming, and can trigger large avalanches on the slopes below. Cornices will become increasingly fragile as temperatures rise through the weekend. Avalanche Summary On Thursday, riders triggered storm slab avalanches to size 2. Several occurred on northerly aspects in the afternoon, possibly influenced by daytime warming encouraging loose snow to gain cohesion. On Tuesday and Wednesday, ridgers triggered storm and wind slabs to size 2, many on northerly aspects and steep alpine slopes. On Wednesday, a size 3.5 avalanche failed naturally in the last 24 hours on a south aspect at 2300 m, likely triggered by solar input. Snowpack SummaryAt upper elevations, wind, sun, and spring temperatures continue to impact 20 to 40 cm of recent powder. Below the recent snow is a hard crust that exists on all aspects to at least 2500 m. The mid and lower snowpack is well settled and strong in most areas. Weather SummaryFriday Night Clear skies. 20 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C. Freezing level 1700 m. Saturday Sunny. 20 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -1 °C. Freezing level 1900 m. Sunday Sunny. 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 2 °C. Freezing level 2300 m. Monday Mostly sunny. 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 6 °C. Freezing level 2800 m. More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast. Confidence: moderateWe are uncertain about how the timing or intensity of solar radiation will affect the snowpack. |
