Watch for unusual cross-loading or reverse-loading patterns in wind-exposed areas, and anticipate reactive wind slabs on a variety of aspects. Sensitivity to triggering will be greatest near ridge crests and roll-overs. Monitor for changing slab conditions as you move into wind-exposed terrain, and give cornices a wide berth.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[{"offset":97,"length":14,"key":0},{"offset":131,"length":13,"key":1},{"offset":148,"length":15,"key":2}],"data":{}},{"key":"4igp3","text":"A concerning layer of facets (sugary snow) can be found over a widespread crust that formed in early December (down 70-150 cm). This layer has been particularly reactive at treeline and low alpine elevations, between 1500-2100 m. Large (size 2-3) avalanches have been reported recently in the neighbouring Sea-to-Sky region. This problem is particularly hard to predict and tricky to manage. Get more details and photos in our forecaster blog.
