</style><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">Reports from Wednesday included more observations of widespread natural activity that took place over the previous few days. Numerous recent Size 2-3 releases were observed on all aspects at all elevations and several avalanches 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. These observations illustrate that dangerous snowpack conditions continue to plague the region and will remain a serious concern for the foreseeable future.</span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">On Tuesday natural avalanches to size 2.5 were reported on northwest facing slopes at 2200 m, running on the early January interface. 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><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">A natural storm slab avalanche cycle occurred on Monday with heavy snow and temperatures up to +2 C in some tree line locations. </span><a id='GoToAdded' href="http://www.avalanche.ca/mountain-information-network/submissions/141b5684-67f2-4da9-b8dd-dde1192325ef" target="_blank"><span class="s_B5813F7D">See this MIN report for a good example of the avalanche activity</span></a><span class="s_3FE45715">. </span></p>
