Crown fractures generally ranged from 15-30 cm, with a few reaching to 40 or 50 cm. Some of the deeper releases have been observed failing within the faceted snow below our new snow as well as at our mid-February interface.</span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_AA239A9B">Last Saturday, two near misses were reported in the Clemina Creek area near Valemount. </span><a id='GoToAdded' href="http://www.avalanche.ca/mountain-information-network/submissions/18320018-97f6-461d-b05d-b222d782527e" target="_blank"><span class="s_9255B882">See the MIN report for details.</span></a><span class="s_AA239A9B"> These were both Size 2 persistent slab avalanches that released on deep facet layers on north-facing rocky alpine features - highlighting the localized dangerous conditions in that area </span><a id='GoToAdded' href="http://www.avalanche.ca/blogs/near-misses-in-the-north-rockies-cariboos" target="_blank"><span class="s_9255B882">(see more here)</span></a><span class="s_AA239A9B">. </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">Looking forward, the next storm pulse looks to be a bit colder but is still coming in with strong winds.
