This layer is sensitive enough for humans to trigger avalanches remotely (from a distance). Human triggered avalanches up to size 2 were reported on Sunday and Monday.</span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">This </span><a href="https://www.avalanche.ca/mountain-information-network/submissions/cf9053a8-51b0-4390-afba-ab1ae91dacdb" target="_blank"><span class="s_B5813F7D">MIN report</span></a><span class="s_3FE45715"> from Sunday illustrates the potential for humans to remotely trigger the mid January layer.</span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">Widespread avalanche activity was reported on Friday and Saturday. Numerous natural avalanches to size 3.5, explosives triggered avalanches to size 2.5, and human triggered avalanches to size 1.5 were reported. Many of these avalanches were triggered remotely (from a distance) and failed on the mid January layer.
