{"blocks":[{"key":"4s6s5","text":"Temperatures are rising with intense solar radiation. In the southern half of the region near Smithers, pockets of above freezing air are forecast up to 2200 m on Monday. This warm-up is expected to rapidly destabilize surface snow and cornices as well as add significant strain to buried weak layers. Cornices have grown large with the recent weather, and a cornice failure has the potential to release very large avalanches on slopes below.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"7c7id","text":"Over the past few days, strong easterly winds drifted the 15-30 cm of recent snow into wind slabs in a reverse-loading pattern (check out this MIN from HBMR).
