{"blocks":[{"key":"6dfvj","text":"Recent snow accumulations ranging from 10-25 cm are being redistributed by variable winds. Winds switched direction from the southwest to the northwest, creating a tricky reverse wind-loading pattern at upper elevations. Winds are forecast to shift back to the southwest and to increase on Tuesday, keeping wind slabs on lee features as a primary concern. Ongoing snow and wind over the past week have contributed to notable cornice growth.

The distribution of these layers is variable, but they follow a similar pattern to the layer discussed above. The upper layer from late December, down about 70-120 cm, consists of spotty surface hoar at shaded treeline and below treeline elevations. The lower layer from early December buried 150 cm deep consists of a combination of decomposing surface hoar with a crust and faceted snow. This layer is most prevalent in areas near Valemount. Observations from adjacent regions suggest that these layers are trending to unreactive.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[{"offset":453,"length":12,"key":1}],"data":{}}],"entityMap":{"0":{"type":"LINK","mutability":"MUTABLE","data":{"href":"https://www.avalanche.ca/glossary#surface-hoar","target":"_blank","url":"https://www.avalanche.ca/glossary#surface-hoar"}},"1":{"type":"LINK","mutability":"MUTABLE","data":{"href":"https://www.avalanche.ca/glossary#faceted-snow","target":"_blank","url":"https://www.avalanche.ca/glossary#faceted-snow"}}}}
