Natural sluffing up to size 2 was reported as well as two natural cornice failures. One of these triggered a size 3 slab which released down 200 cm. Ski cutting trigger two size 1.5 wind slabs which were 30-40 cm thick. On Tuesday, a natural cornice release triggered a size 1.5 storm slab on a northwest aspect at 2050 m elevation. On Monday, a natural cornice release triggered a size 3.5 deep persistent slab on a north aspect at 2500 m released on glacier ice and ran to valley bottom. </span><span class="s_3FE45715">Over the weekend, a widespread avalanche cycle occurred with avalanches up to size 4.5. This included very large cornice releases, avalanches releasing on layers near the base of the snowpack, propagations over 1 km wide, and mature timber being broken. </span><a id='GoToAdded' href="http://www.avalanche.ca/blogs/lp-hc-2017march" target="_blank"><span class="s_B5813F7D">Click here for photos of the recent avalanches.</span></a><span class="s_AA239A9B" /></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">On Friday, wind slabs and cornice are expected to be reactive at higher elevations. We are in a low probability, high consequence scenario for persistent slab avalanches failing on 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_AA239A9B" /></p>
