A skier triggered a large (size 2 to 2.5) avalanche within a slide path near Fernie. The avalanche was about 40 to 80 cm deep, on a northeast aspect, and at 1700 m. The South Rockies Field Team attended the site on Tuesday and confirmed that the avalanche failed on a layer of surface hoar, </span><a href="https://www.avalanche.ca/mountain-information-network/submissions/89f17751-c4bd-4500-823f-63f6303dc2dd" target="_blank"><span class="s_69909980">check out their report here</span></a><span class="s_1681A555">.
