Sasquatch Mountain Resort

High overnight freezing levels continue, the snowpack is reportedly isothermalon southerly aspects to the mountain top and all aspects to treeline elevations. A cooling trend will slowly begin tonight forming a surface crust at upper elevations. In places where the surface forms a crust overnight, it should quickly soften during the day with sunshine and warm temperatures. The highest elevation north aspects (above 2200 m) may still hold some dry snow.

Cornices are large and looming along ridgelines. They are weak and very unpredictable.

No recent avalanche observations have been submitted from this region.

In the neighboring Sea to Sky region and the South Coast Inland, multiple wet slab avalanches and wet loose avalanche activity have been active throughout the week as large as size 4 but primarily in the size 2-3 range. Many of these involved the full depth of the snowpack, running to the valley bottom. We suspect similar activity to have occurred in the South Coast region as well.

Cornices remain weak and fragile. They require a large berth from above and below as they are very unpredictable.
