{"blocks":[{"key":"3j38s","text":"Anywhere from 40 cm to 60 cm of recent storm snow has accumulated in the North (Pemberton area) and up to 80 cm in the South (Coquihalla) over a variety of surfaces that were buried mid-February. These old interfaces include surface hoar and/or facets in shady, wind-sheltered areas, sun crust on solar aspects. Generally, the storm snow seems to be settling quickly. The snow was moist/wet and rain-soaked at lower elevations, especially in the southern half of the province, which has most likely resulted in the formation of a new surface crust.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"erp9g","text":"","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"6s7a","text":"In the neighboring Sea to Sky region on northerly slopes (NW, N, NE, E) at treeline/ low alpine elevations (1600-2000 m) the mid-February facet/ crust persistent weak layer has been touchy to skier triggers, showing signs of whumphing and remotely-triggered avalanches. Reports indicate that areas that have a 3-5 cm thick layer of facets sitting on a hard melt-freeze crust are most concerning. There is no direct evidence of this persistent slab problem in the South Coast Inland region but it may be developing and should be on your radar because the snowpack structure is similar, especially in the north of the region.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[{"offset":138,"length":35,"key":0}],"data":{}},{"key":"9t6b8","text":"","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"usb5","text":"Another crust/facet layer from late-January is buried down 40-120 cm and has shown no results in recent snowpack tests and is dormant at this time.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}}],"entityMap":{"0":{"type":"LINK","mutability":"MUTABLE","data":{"url":"https://avalanche.ca/glossary#persistent-slab"}}}}
