</style><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">On Thursday, a natural size 1.5 storm slab was observed on a NW aspect at 2450 m as well as solar triggered sluffing up to size 1.5 from steep sun exposed slopes. A natural cornice release triggered two pockets of deep slab in extreme terrain. A skier remotely triggered a size 2 wind slab from 20 m away on a north aspect at 2100 m. Skiers also triggered three size 1.5-2 wind slabs on northeast through southeast aspects between 2400 and 2800 m elevation. Explosives triggered six cornices up to size 3 but only one these cornices triggered a slab. On Wednesday, a natural size 2 was reported on a south aspect. A skier triggered a size 1 storm slab on a north aspect at 2200 m which was 15-25 cm thick. </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">On Saturday, storm slabs are expected to be reactive at higher elevations, especially in wind loaded terrain and on steep convexities. Cornices are large and may become weak with daytime warming or during stormy periods. We are in a low probability, high consequence scenario for persistent slab avalanches failing on buried weak layers. </span><a id='GoToAdded' href="http://www.avalanche.ca/blogs/novemberfacetsmarchlphccycle" target="_blank"><span class="s_B5813F7D">Click here for more details.</span></a><span class="s_AA239A9B"> </span><a id='GoToAdded' href="http://www.avalanche.ca/blogs/lp-hc-2017march" target="_blank"><span class="s_9255B882">Click here for photos of the recent large avalanche cycle.</span></a><span class="s_AA239A9B" /></p>
