{"blocks":[{"key":"a86rl","text":"Three different flavors of avalanches can be expected on Sunday. Loose dry sluffing may be possible in areas where the recent snow has not formed a slab. Although typically small (size 1-1.5), these avalanches pose a serious concern for ice climbers and for people traveling in extreme terrain where the possibility of getting knocked off of your feet has severe consequences. At upper elevations, newly formed wind slabs are expected to be reactive to human triggering. At treeline elevations and below, avalanches may be remotely triggered and break larger than expected on a reactive layer of surface hoar.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[{"offset":75,"length":8,"key":0}],"data":{}},{"key":"dk9au","text":"On Friday, numerous large (size 2-2.5) natural, human, and explosive triggered wind slab avalanches were reported.

This MIN from the RMR backcountry is a great representation of the widespread activity. A notable size 3 avalanche was reported from the southeast corner of the region near Balfour, BC. The skier-triggered avalanche was on a north/northwest facing slope around 2000 m, it propagated across an entire drainage and may be wider than one kilometre. It likely ran on the early January surface hoar.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[{"offset":185,"length":8,"key":1}],"data":{}}],"entityMap":{"0":{"type":"LINK","mutability":"MUTABLE","data":{"url":"https://www.avalanche.ca/glossary#sluff"}},"1":{"type":"LINK","mutability":"MUTABLE","data":{"url":"https://www.avalanche.ca/mountain-information-network/submissions/070b8513-d82d-4ce3-88de-5f58351ce5e9"}}}}
