Avalanche Bulletin
Revelstoke Issued by: avalanche-canada Issued at: Tue Mar 25, 2025 16:00 PST Valid Until Wed Mar 26, 2025 16:00 PST
Persistent weak layers are overloaded and primed for triggering, and natural failure.
Storm slabs, both wet and dry, may fail with high temperatures and solar input. They may step down to deeper weak layers.
Wet loose avalanches are likely with high temperatures and potential sun. Avoid being on or underneath slopes in the sun. Avalanche Summary A large avalanche cycle occurred on Monday and likely into Tuesday. With many storm slabs stepping down to deep weak layers, causing very large avalanches, up to size 4. In the southeast of the region on Monday, there was a fatal avalanche incident. A group was hit by a large (size 3) natural persistent slab avalanche. Snowpack SummaryUp to 50 cm of recent snow is rapidly warming and expected to see the sun for the first time. The upper snowpack is expected to become moist and wet. There is a significant concern for avalanches in motion to step down to deeper, persistent weak layers. These consist of surface hoar, facets, or a crust:
Tuesday Night Cloudy with 0 to 10 mm/cm of rain/snow. 20 to 40 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 0 °C. Freezing level 2400 m. Wednesday A mix of sun and cloud. 20 to 30 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 3 °C. Freezing level 3000 m. Thursday Cloudy with 10 to 30 mm/cm of rain/snow. 20 km/h southwest ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature 0 °C. Freezing level falling to 2000 m. Friday Mostly cloudy with 5 to 15 mm/cm of rain/snow. 10 to 20 km/h southeast ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -2 °C. Freezing level 1800 m. More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast. Confidence: highWe are confident the snowpack will rapidly lose strength with the arrival of the forecast weather.

Several buried weak layers exist throughout the snowpack. These layers will likely become increasingly active as the snowpack warms and weakens on Wednesday.
There is evidence that weak layers near the bottom of the snowpack are starting to wake up. Avalanches on these layers will be large, destructive and may run full path.
Loose wet avalanches will become increasingly likely with rising temperatures, especially at elevations where surface snow is seeing above-zero temperatures for the first time. Avalanche Summary Natural persistent slab avalanche activity has been observed throughout the region over the last week. On Monday, a few size 2 to 2.5s were observed between Golden and Invermere. Smaller storm slabs were also reported in the Dogtooth area. Looking forward, we can expect to see more large persistent slab avalanches as temperatures spike on Wednesday. Snowpack SummarySurfaces are becoming moist on all aspects as the freezing level climbs. Below lies a complex snowpack with several weak layers which are currently concerns for triggering persistent slab avalanches:
Tuesday night Partly cloudy. 20 to 30 km/h southwest ridgetop winds. Treeline temperature +3 °C. Freezing level 2500 m. Wednesday Mostly sunny. 10 to 20 km/h southeast ridgetop winds. Treeline temperature +5 °C. Freezing level rising to 3000 m. Thursday Mostly cloudy with scattered flurries. 20 to 30 km/h southwest ridgetop winds. Treeline temperature 0 °C. Freezing level falling to 2000 m. Friday Mostly cloudy with scattered flurries. 10 to 20 km/h southeast ridgetop winds. Treeline temperature -2 °C. Freezing level 1000 to 2000 m. 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.

Aprrox. 60 of storm snow over the past week arrived with warm temperatures creating a widespread storm slab. Storm slabs are expected to become very reactive as temperatures rise with accompanied rain and wet snow.
Natural wet loose avalanches will be likely as freezing levels rise to 3000m on Wednesday. Wet loose avalanches may be a large enough trigger to wake up our March 5 persistent weak layer.
A persistent weak layer (PWL), buried March 5th, is down 60-120cm. Depending on aspect and elevation, this layer may be suncrust, facets &/or surface hoar. Wet loose or storm slab avalanches may step down to this layer resulting in large avalanches. Wed warming event will test of this lingering PWL Avalanche Summary A widespread natural avalanche cycle is expected on Wednesday as freezing levels rise to near mountain top. Neighboring regions have reported serious incidents and large avalanches. Similar conditions are expected in Rogers pass as we see the same warming trend begin to enter our forecast region. Snowpack Summary10-20 cm of Moist snow on the surface up to 2100m on Tuesday has formed a breakable crust at treeline & below. All elevations have a storm slab approx. 60 cm deep sitting over the March 5th persistent weak layer (PWL). The March 5 PWL consists of a crust &/or surface hoar and is down 60-120cm. There is concern that storm slabs will step down to this PWL and may entrain wet loose snow at lower elevations. Additional PWL's from Jan/Feb are now buried 140-190cm deep. Weather SummaryFreezing Levels Rising to near mountain top tomorrow. Yikes! Tonight Scattered wet flurries, 5cm. Wind SW 30-45km/h. Freezing level (FZL) 2300m Wednesday Cloudy, scattered showers. 4mm precipitation. Alpine high 4 °C. Wind SE 15-25. FZL 3000m Thursday Snow mixed with rain, 20 cm. Wind SW 10. FZL 2200m Friday Flurries, 8cm. Light westerly wind gusting to 35 Confidence: moderateUncertainty is due to difficult to forecast freezing levels. |
