{"blocks":[{"key":"bmpir","text":"Low density snow continues to accumulate across the region, with wind slabs likely forming at higher elevations. By Monday afternoon another 20-30 cm of light snow will fall in the southern Purcells and 10-20 cm in the central and northern Purcells. A weak layer of surface hoar that formed in late December remains a lingering concern throughout the region. Reports suggest the layer is about 70 cm deep around Golden, 30 cm deep around Invermere, 70 cm deep in southern parts of the region, and 100 cm deep in western parts of the region. The reactivity of this layer is likely variable throughout the region, so remain suspect of steep open slopes at lower elevations. As usual for the Purcells, the base of the snowpack contains basal facets and it remains possible to trigger these deep weak layers in shallow rocky start zones.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[{"offset":266,"length":12,"key":0},{"offset":733,"length":12,"key":1},{"offset":807,"length":25,"key":2}],"data":{}},{"key":"3f9rr","text":"Also, see this Mountain Conditions Report for an update on local conditions in the southern Purcells.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[{"offset":15,"length":26,"key":3}],"data":{}}],"entityMap":{"0":{"type":"LINK","mutability":"MUTABLE","data":{"href":"https://www.avalanche.ca/glossary#surface-hoar","target":"_self","url":"https://www.avalanche.ca/glossary#surface-hoar"}},"1":{"type":"LINK","mutability":"MUTABLE","data":{"href":"https://www.avalanche.ca/glossary#basal-facets","target":"_self","url":"https://www.avalanche.ca/glossary#basal-facets"}},"2":{"type":"LINK","mutability":"MUTABLE","data":{"href":"https://www.avalanche.ca/glossary/#a-shallow-rocky-start-zone-is-an-area-of-the-snowpack","target":"_self","url":"https://www.avalanche.ca/glossary/#a-shallow-rocky-start-zone-is-an-area-of-the-snowpack"}},"3":{"type":"LINK","mutability":"MUTABLE","data":{"url":"https://mountainconditions.ca/reports/snowpack-and-avalanche-conditions-purcells"}}}}
