{"blocks":[{"key":"ccl71","text":"By Wednesday morning, 20-40cm new snow is forecast to fall in the southern Coquihalla Pass region with strong southwest winds.  Farther north near the Duffy, 10-25 cm of new snow is forecast. Strong southwesterly winds will form reactive windslabs in the alpine, at ridgecrest and in lee features. This new snow falls on a variety of surfaces: faceting soft snow, a thicker rain crust at treeline and below, a thin melt-freeze crust on solar aspects in the alpine, and possibly small surface hoar crystals in wind sheltered areas.

In the south of the region, this crust is 10-20 cm thick and supportive. In the north, it exists as a thin zipper crust over 2300 m and may be punchy and unsupportive between 1600 and 2000 m.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"aa658","text":"","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"djn5k","text":"In the north of the region, a crust/facet layer sits near the ground. The most recent avalanche activity observed on this layer was on December 1st when a natural cornice fall triggered a size 3. More recent snowpack tests in the Cayoosh zone found this layer down 100+ cm and unreactive. While our uncertainty around the reactivity of this crust is keeping it on the radar going into the active weather pattern over the next week or so, it does not appear to be an active problem at this time.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"2oh4r","text":"","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}}],"entityMap":{}}
