{"blocks":[{"key":"9rv11","text":"As of Monday morning, weekend storm totals ranged from 55-95 mm of water in 62 hours and above freezing temperatures up to 1900 m and now dropping. At summit elevations and in areas further north in the region, precipitation fell as snow and some operators are reporting up 90 cm throughout this stormy period. Strong winds from the south have rapidly loaded areas receiving snow with touchy storm slabs. More snow and strong southwest wind will continue to build these storm slabs over the next few days. Cornices may also become overloaded and weak. Below the freezing level, the snowpack is saturated at this point but may start to freeze into a crust as the freezing level drops.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"959f","text":"The intense periods of precipitation has the potential to bring buried weak layers to their breaking point. Two early season weak layers are still on our radar: a facet/crust combination that formed in early November and a layer of facets near the ground. In the Ningunsaw area, basal facets have recently produced very large deep persistent slab avalanches. The early November crust also been reactive in the Bear Pass area within the last week.
