Crown depths ranged from 10-30 cm deep. Two recent size 2.5 natural persistent slab avalanches that failed on the mid-December weak layer were observed at 1500-1700 metres in the north of the region.</span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">On Thursday explosive control work produced avalanches to size 3.5 on a variety of aspects above 2100 m. Failure planes included mid-January, mid-December and late-November. Natural avalanches to size 2 were observed on east facing slopes near 1900 m. </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">Wednesday included further observations of recent activity showing storm slabs releasing naturally, from size 2 to 3, on all aspects and elevations. Explosive control also yielded numerous persistent slab results from size 2 to 3.5 on all aspects/elevations. All our persistent weak layers of concern were active. 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">A size 2.5 avalanche on a northeast facing slope at 1920 m in the Clemina Creek area resulted in a single fatality. </span><a id='GoToAdded' href="http://www.avalanche.ca/map?panel=fatal-accident/fatal-recreational-accident-clemina-creek-2018-01-30" target="_blank"><span class="s_B5813F7D">More details are available here</span></a><span class="s_3FE45715">.</span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715"> </span></p>
