{"blocks":[{"key":"5lh16","text":"Reports from Thursday's storm showed an uptick in avalanche activity, with numerous mainly small (size 1) storm slabs releasing naturally as well as with skier traffic and ski cutting on steeper slopes in the south of the region. Reactivity appeared limited to the depth of overnight snowfall and also reduced by the end of the day. Further north in Bear Pass, stronger winds and greater overnight snowfall led to more significant wind slab activity, with natural releases generally larger than in the south (size 2-3).","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"6tqi7","text":"","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"b8a3h","text":"A quieter couple days of reports on Tuesday and Wednesday included a few observations of small (size 1) new wind slabs reacting to skier traffic as well as failing naturally on steeper north aspects.
