A fresher size 3 avalanche in the Alexander Creek drainage was possibly triggered by a cornice fall a week ago. Widespread natural activity in the neighboring Kananaskis region suggest conditions may be touchier north of Elkford (see above).</span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_AA239A9B">Looking ahead, the primary concern is the potential for large deep persistent slab avalanches triggered by natural triggers such as a cornice fall.
