</style><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_AA239A9B">On Saturday, a natural cornice release triggered a size 2 storm slab on a north aspect at 2600 m and a size 1.5 wind slab was observed on a north aspect at 2500 m. Skiers and snowmobiles triggered several size 1 storm slabs and wind slabs, mainly on northwest through northeast aspects above 2000 m. Most of these recent slab avalanches were 20-40 cm thick but one was 50 cm thick and released on the mid-March crust. On Friday, small storm slabs were reactive to skier traffic on convex and wind loaded northerly aspects. The last avalanches to step down to deeper layers were on Thursday when explosives triggered cornices which pulled slabs 100-200 cm thick. </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">On Monday, the recent storm snow is expected to be reactive at higher elevations, especially in wind loaded terrain and on steep convex features. 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 deep 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_3FE45715"> </span><a id='GoToAdded' href="http://www.avalanche.ca/blogs/lp-hc-2017march" target="_blank"><span class="s_B5813F7D">Click here for photos the avalanche cycle last week.</span></a><span class="s_AA239A9B" /></p>
