{"blocks":[{"key":"64dc1","text":"One or two thin new crusts may be found in the upper snowpack which are now buried by 5-10 cm of new snow. The crust appears to be most prominent in the Monashees where it extends well into alpine elevations and possibly all the way to the mountain tops. In the Selkirks, the crust seems less developed and only extends to around 1700-1800 m. In addition to the new crust, a new layer of surface hoar has been reported and is now likely buried under the most recent snowfall. Below the crust and at higher elevations, 25-50 cm of storm snow from the past week is settling rapidly with the mild temperatures. This recent storm snow overlies the January 10 interface which may include weak facets and/or surface hoar. Another layer of facets from early January can be found down 60-90 cm.","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"808kd","text":"","type":"unstyled","depth":0,"inlineStyleRanges":[],"entityRanges":[],"data":{}},{"key":"6s9jo","text":"The early December crust/facet interface is now typically down 80-150 cm, but as deep as 200 cm in wind loaded terrain. It consists of faceted grains above a bulletproof crust formed by the Atmospheric River rain event at the end of November. There has been avalanche activity on this layer as recently as recently as Thursday, primarily in the north of the region. Heavy triggers like natural cornice falls and storm slab avalanches may still have potential to step down to this layer resulting in very large avalanches.
