</style><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">On Saturday, natural storm slab and wind slab avalanches up to size 2 were observed in the alpine above 2200 m elevation on northwest through east aspects. A few natural cornice releases triggered wind slabs up to size 2.5 on north and east aspects. Skiers triggered a few size 1 wind slabs and loose wet avalanches. Most of the recent slab avalanches were 10-30 cm thick slabs. On Friday, numerous small human triggered avalanches were reported in the top 20-30 cm of storm snow on northerly aspects above 1800 m. Explosive control produced a size 1.5 cornice chunk that did not trigger a slab on the slope below. On Thursday, several size 1.5-2 wind slabs were skier triggered and a natural cornice release triggered two pockets of deep slab in extreme terrain. </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">On Monday, the recent storm snow is expected to be reactive at higher elevations, especially in wind loaded terrain and on steep convex features. Cornices are large and may become weak with daytime warming or during stormy periods. We are in a low probability, high consequence scenario for persistent slab avalanches failing on deep buried weak layers. </span><a id='GoToAdded' href="http://www.avalanche.ca/blogs/novemberfacetsmarchlphccycle" target="_blank"><span class="s_B5813F7D">Click here for more details.</span></a><span class="s_3FE45715"> </span><a id='GoToAdded' href="http://www.avalanche.ca/blogs/lp-hc-2017march" target="_blank"><span class="s_B5813F7D">Click here for photos the avalanche cycle last week.</span></a><span class="s_3FE45715"> </span></p>
