This layer has been recently reactive in thinner snowpack areas near ridge tops, where the facets are more developed and where the crust layers are more accessible to the weight of a person or machine. Large size 2 and 3 avalanches on this persistent slab problem have been reported recently in the neighbouring Sea-to-Sky region. This problem is particularly hard to predict and tricky to manage.
