{"blocks":[{"key":"5lh16","text":"Friday's reports showed a bit more evidence of the previous day's avalanche cycle, with storm slab avalanches up to size 2.5 (large) seen on all aspects at alpine and treeline elevations.

Reactivity appeared limited to the depth of overnight snowfall and also reduced by the end of the day. Further north in Bear Pass, stronger winds and greater overnight snowfall led to more significant wind slab activity, with natural releases generally larger than in the south (size 2-3).","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"8odt0","text":"","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"4mofp","text":"Looking forward, natural avalanche activity is expected to decline quite sharply while the likelihood of human triggered avalanches persists a bit longer.
