</style><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_AA239A9B">Reports from Saturday and Sunday show an active couple of days for avalanches in the Columbias. A more notable MIN report from Saturday describes </span><span class="s_3FE45715">a large (size 2) snowmobile remote (from a distance) triggered storm slab in the Clemina Creek area. </span><a href="https://www.avalanche.ca/mountain-information-network/submissions/a96b95b7-ff0c-4e7c-a04b-cb260cf85d6b" target="_blank"><span class="s_42FC617C">(link here)</span></a><span class="s_AA239A9B"> Numerous other small (size 1-1.5) storm slabs were also triggered with ski cutting and skier traffic. A notable outlier was a large (size 2.5) persistent slab release that was skier triggered below ridgecrest on a southwest aspect in the Connaught Creeek area in Glacier National Park.</span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_AA239A9B">Prior to the storm, the last reported persistent slab activity was last Sunday when a few large (size 3) persistent slab avalanches were observed on south facing alpine features. This was the final report from a widespread persistent slab avalanche cycle that was quite active last week. The inability of our recent storm to produce a renewal of persistent slab activity suggests that this layer may finally have become dormant.</span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_AA239A9B">Looking forward, </span><span class="s_3FE45715">expect a decrease in natural avalanche activity while the potential for human triggering sees a more gradual decline.</span></p>
