This layer may have been destroyed by strong wind immediately before burial on February 22nd, but it may still exist in sheltered terrain features. Where it exists, it has been reactive in some snowpack tests but not others, suggesting spatial variation. This persistent weak layer continues to warrant investigation conservative terrain use around large, steep, and sheltered terrain features.

A large load, such as from a cornice fall, or sustained warm temperatures have the potential to trigger this layer.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}}],"entityMap":{"0":{"type":"LINK","mutability":"MUTABLE","data":{"url":"https://www.avalanche.ca/blogs/house-of-cards"}}}}
