</style><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">There is no recent avalanche activity to report, however there have been some serious incidents the past week. Although several days old, the following descriptions are indicative of the current avalanche problem. </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">On Thursday a skier triggered a size 3 avalanche just after entering the east face of Evening Ridge at 2000m near Nelson. The avalanche released to ground and the late November crust was likely involved. The avalanche caught and carried the skier for over 300 m, resulting in significant injuries. Subsequent avalanche control in the area produced 2 additional size 2.5 avalanches. On Monday another avalanche failing on the mid-December interface was triggered remotely from 10 m away as a skier approached a rocky outcropping on an east/southeast facing feature around 1900 m. A skier also triggered a small storm slab on a west facing feature around 2200 m Monday which was suspected to have failed on the late December surface hoar. </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">On New Years Eve a skier was involved on in a size 3 avalanche on an east facing treeline feature at Kootenay Pass. A recent crown profile has shown that this avalanche failed on the late November crust. </span><a id='GoToAdded' href="http://www.avalanche.ca/map/forecasts/kootenay-boundary?panel=mountain-information-network-submissions/8381b4f5-f27d-40de-b98e-f3c664b4ba07" target="_blank"><span class="s_B5813F7D">Click here to see the Mountain Information Network report for this incident.</span></a><span class="s_AA239A9B" /></p>
