</style><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">New snow was reactive on Sunday with several reports of skier-triggered, cornice-triggered, and natural avalanches. On Monday, explosives triggered size 2 storm slab avalanches and cornices. A weak layer of surface hoar buried 10-30 cm is responsible, especially around treeline 1500-1900 m. </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">Most storm slab avalanches are reported on north-northeast aspects 1700-2000 m. However 2 recent avalanches occurred on southerly aspects. On Sunday, a size 2 avalanche released naturally around 2000 m on a southeast aspect with solar input with surprising propagation. On Monday, a snowboarder triggered a size 2 avalanche on a south aspect in open trees outside the Fernie boundary, fortunately with no injury. </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">Two large snowmobile triggered avalanches were reported over a week ago. One was triggered on a thin, rocky, southwest facing feature near ridge crest north of Fernie </span><a href="https://www.avalanche.ca/mountain-information-network/submissions/57405067-eb22-4477-8bae-3dd1ef64deec" target="_blank"><span class="s_B5813F7D">(report here)</span></a><span class="s_3FE45715">. The other was triggered on a wind affected south facing slope at treeline in the Corbin area </span><a href="https://www.avalanche.ca/mountain-information-network/submissions/e9803fa4-3349-4e42-a062-5c291fc25735" target="_blank"><span class="s_B5813F7D">(report here)</span></a><span class="s_3FE45715">. Deep persistent slab activity has been most common in parts of the region with shallow snowpacks (such as near the continental divide) and alpine features with thin variable snowpack depths.</span></p>
