</style><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">New snow was reactive on Sunday with several reports of skier-triggered, cornice-triggered and natural avalanches. A weak layer of surface hoar under the new snow is the likely suspect especially, around treeline elevations 1500-1850 m. Most of these storm slab avalanches are reported on north-north east aspects between 1700-2000m, however 2 recent avalanches occurred on southeast aspects. On Sunday, a size 2 avalanche released naturally around 2000 m with solar input with surprising propagation. And on Monday, skiers triggered a size 2 avalanche on a south aspect in open trees outside the Fernie boundary, fortunately with no injury. </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">Two large snowmobile triggered avalanches were reported last weekend. One was triggered on a thin, rocky, southwest facing feature near ridge crest north of Fernie </span><a href="https://www.avalanche.ca/mountain-information-network/submissions/57405067-eb22-4477-8bae-3dd1ef64deec" target="_blank"><span class="s_B5813F7D">(see here for report)</span></a><span class="s_3FE45715">. The other was triggered on a wind affected south facing slope at treeline in the Corbin area </span><a href="https://www.avalanche.ca/mountain-information-network/submissions/e9803fa4-3349-4e42-a062-5c291fc25735" target="_blank"><span class="s_B5813F7D">(see here for report)</span></a><span class="s_3FE45715">. Deep persistent slab activity this season has been most common in parts of the region with shallow snowpacks (such as near the continental divide) and on alpine features with thin variable snowpack depths.</span></p>
