No new avalanches were reported on Thursday, but expect an increase in avalanche activity with the upcoming warming on Friday.

Evidence of past avalanches, such as this one observed Saturday on Sky Pilot, may still be visible in the region.

NOTE: Recent observations are currently very limited in this region.

A typical spring diurnal cycle is underway.

High freezing levels have transformed the surface during the day into moist snow, while cooling at night has formed a crust.

The snowpack is generally well-settled and strong.

Lower elevations are melting out rapidly.

Thursday Night

Clear. 10 to 20 km/h north ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 8 °C. Freezing level 2800 m.

Friday

Mostly sunny and increasing cloudiness. 20 to 30 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 12 °C. Freezing level 3300 m.

Saturday

Mostly cloudy with isolated flurries. 20 to 30 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 4 °C. Freezing level 1700 m.

Sunday

Mostly cloudy with isolated flurries. 30 to 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 0 °C. Freezing level 1500 m.

Numerous natural loose wet avalanches were reported from all aspects at treeline and above. They all occurred later in the afternoon during the peak of warming, some involving large debris (size 2).

Recent cornice failures were also reported, with some triggering wet avalanches on slopes below.

Expect an increase in avalanche activity with the upcoming warming on Friday.

A typical spring diurnal cycle is underway.

High freezing levels have transformed the surface during the day into moist snow, while cooling at night has formed a crust.

Dry snow may persist only in the highest north-facing terrain.

The snowpack is generally well-settled and strong, although dormant weak layers may still exist in shallow inland areas like the Duffey and Chilcotin.

Sustained high freezing levels with poor overnight recovery have the potential to awaken dormant weak layers.

Lower elevations are melting out rapidly.

Thursday Night

Clear. 15 to 25 km/h north ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 3 °C. Freezing level 2500 m.

Friday

Sunny with increasing cloudiness. 15 to 25 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 8 °C. Freezing level 3500 m.

Saturday

Cloudy with isolated flurries. 20 to 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 2 °C. Freezing level lowering to 1800 m.

Sunday

Cloudy with isolated flurries. 10 to 20 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 0 °C. Freezing level 1500 m.
