INFORMATION & OBSERVATIONS:
FROM AVALANCHE CANADA:
Travel and Terrain Advice
Don't be too cavalier with decision making, storm slabs may remain sensitive to human triggering.
Recent wind has varied in direction so watch for wind slabs on all aspects.
Carefully monitor the bond between the new snow and old surface.
Don't let the desire for deep powder pull you into high consequence terrain.
Use extra caution around cornices: they are large, fragile, and can trigger slabs on slopes below.
CONSIDERABLE--SEA TO SKY ADVISORY available top right sidebar.
