On Monday, another size 2 persistent slab avalanche was accidentally triggered by a skier northwest of Valemount. Triggering a large deep persistent slab avalanche is an ongoing low probability - high consequence problem that demands an extra cautious approach to terrain selection in our region. </span><a id='GoToAdded' href="http://www.avalanche.ca/blogs/near-misses-in-the-north-rockies-cariboos" target="_blank"><span class="s_9255B882">See here for a list of recent near misses in the region.</span></a><span class="s_AA239A9B" /></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_AA239A9B">Looking forward, cooling temperatures and easing winds should promote more 'right side up' conditions as snowfall continues. With that said, Friday's touchier new snow will likely remain sensitive to human triggering while persistent weaknesses in the snowpack see steadily increasing load.</span></p>
