Snowpack Discussion
A thin surface crust is expected everywhere except northerly slopes in the alpine.
A substantial crust up to 30 cm thick sits 50 to 90 cm deep, well-bonded to surrounding snow. The mid and lower snowpack is generally well consolidated, with several well-bonded crusts scattered throughout.
Treeline snow depths range from roughly 150 to 220 cm around the Coquihalla and 100 to 150 cm around Manning Park.
Avalanche Activity
Several small wet loose avalanches on south aspects were reported in the Coquihalla area on Tuesday.
