</style><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">Reports from Saturday included observations of cornice-triggered storm slabs releasing from size 2-3.5 on southeast aspects. The size 3.5 avalanche showed wide propagation that extended the crown into low angle terrain. Two recent size 2-3 wind slab releases over the early January and mid-December weak layers were also observed. A size 2 persistent slab avalanche was also remote triggered by a snowmobiler approaching a short convex slope in the Allan Creek area. The crown fracture was over a metre deep. </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">Explosive control on Thursday produced avalanches to size 2.5 failing on both the mid and early January interfaces. These avalanches ran on north, northeast, east and southeast facing features between 1600 and 2600 m. </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">On Tuesday, a size 2.5 avalanche on a northeast facing slope at 1920 m resulted in a single fatality in Clemina Creek. </span><a id='GoToAdded' href="http://www.avalanche.ca/map/forecasts/cariboos?panel=fatal-accident/fatal-recreational-accident-clemina-creek-2018-01-30" target="_blank"><span class="s_B5813F7D">More details available here.</span></a><span class="s_AA239A9B" /></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">Looking forward, dangerous snowpack conditions will persist in the region. All three of our buried weak layers continue to produce large, destructive avalanches both naturally and with light triggers. The potential for new storm slabs and wind slabs to act as a trigger for deeper weak layers is another increasing concern.</span></p>
