The crown fracture was over a metre 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 Monashees just south of the region.</span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">Explosive control work on Thursday produced avalanches to size 2.5 failing on both the mid and early January interfaces. These avalanches ran on north, northeast, east and southeast facing features between 1600 and 2600 m. </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">Reports from Wednesday showed numerous recent size 2-3 releases on all aspects at all elevations, with several avalanches that reached size 4. Subsequent explosives control yielded storm slab and wind slab releases from size 2-2.5 and persistent slab results generally from size 2.5-3. The early January persistent weak layer was named as the primary failure plane for persistent slab releases, although several larger releases stepped down to the mid-December layer.</span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">On Tuesday, a size 2.5 avalanche on a northeast facing slope at 1920 m resulted in a single fatality in Clemina Creek. </span><a id='GoToAdded' href="http://www.avalanche.ca/map/forecasts/cariboos?panel=fatal-accident/fatal-recreational-accident-clemina-creek-2018-01-30" target="_blank"><span class="s_B5813F7D">More details available here.</span></a><span class="s_3FE45715"> </span></p>
