</style><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_AA239A9B">On Thursday, a natural size 3 avalanche was reported on a northeast aspect at 2500 m and a size 1.5 cornice failed on a north aspect at 2600 m.  Solar triggered loose avalanches up to size 2 were also observed.  Skiers were triggering size 1 wind slabs in the alpine and explosives triggered three avalanches, one of which failed on the ground down 100 cm. On Wednesday, a natural size 4 deep persistent slab was reported but the date of the avalanche is uncertain. This failed on a broad ridge feature on south through north aspects, was 200 cm thick, and 1000 m wide. A natural size 2.5 storm slab was also observed on a northeast aspect at 2400 m and a natural cornice failed on west aspect at 2300 m which was solar triggered.&nbsp; </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">On Saturday, wind slabs are expected to be touchy at higher elevations. Cornices are large and may become weak with daytime warming or during stormy periods. </span><span class="s_3FE45715">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_3FE45715"> </span><a id='GoToAdded' href="http://www.avalanche.ca/blogs/lp-hc-2017march" target="_blank"><span class="s_B5813F7D">Click here for photos of the recent large avalanche cycle.</span></a><span class="s_AA239A9B" /></p>
