Elsewhere, storm slabs were observed running naturally and with explosives from Size 1.5-3. South aspects were especially active where solar warming served as a trigger.</span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">Explosives control in the adjacent North Columbias yielded numerous persistent Slab results from Size 2-3.5 on all aspects at all elevations. The deep mid-December layer and an even deeper layer from November were both frequent failure planes. The mid December layer is also suspected in two natural Size 4 releases in and near the Glacier National Park area.</span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">On Wednesday a Size 2 natural avalanche struck a ski touring group on a northeast facing avalanche path outside of Revelstoke, </span><a id='GoToAdded' href="http://www.avalanche.ca/map/forecasts/north-columbia?panel=mountain-information-network-submissions/0a25bb9a-420c-4f5b-a5dd-a1b66078d056" target="_blank"><span class="s_B5813F7D">more details available here</span></a><span class="s_3FE45715">. </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">On Tuesday natural avalanche activity was widespread, running on all aspects and elevations.
