Avalanche Report from Avalanche Canada for South Columbias:
Issued Friday
“Watch out for increasing reactivity on the buried surface hoar. Once a threshold amount of snow forms slab properties, slab avalanches will become more easily triggered and larger at all elevations and aspects. Choose terrain to limit your exposure & assess every slope.”
Alpine: Considerable
Treeline: Considerable
Below treeline: Moderate

Avalanche Report from Avalanche Canada for North Columbias:
Issued Friday
“New snow and wind will incrementally load the buried surface hoar and increase slab properties, making the persistent weak layer more easily triggered. Wind slabs are also of concern in exposed and wind-affected terrain. Asses for slabs and make conservative terrain choices.”
Alpine: Considerable
Treeline: Considerable
Below treeline: Moderate
