There was also a report of a size two avalanche that was triggered accidently on a North facing slope, again at treeline, on the early March surface hoar/crust combo. </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">On Thursday explosive control produced avalanches to size 3 on both SE &amp; NE facing slopes in upper treeline and alpine elevations. A skier remote triggered a size 3 avalanche from 100m away on a NE facing slope at 2200m. The avalanche was triggered from low angle terrain and resulted in a very large avalanche with a crown up to 150cm in depth. </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">Last Saturday's avalanche fatality occurred in the Keefer Lake area northeast of Cherryville. The avalanche, which occurred in a cut block at about 1700m, involved 3 sledders who were in a party of 6. Two of the men were able to inflate their airbags and were partially buried. The deceased was reportedly not able to inflate his airbag, and was buried approximately 5m below the surface.</span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715">While not in this region, it's worth taking a look at last weekends </span><a id='GoToAdded' href="http://www.avalanche.ca/cac/library/incident-report-database/view/d6fe59e5-6b34-4c2d-94c6-8df7ef637e3a" target="_blank"><span class="s_B5813F7D">incident</span></a><span class="s_3FE45715"> from the Cariboos. </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_3FE45715"> </span></p><p class="p_CC664AAA"><span class="s_AA239A9B"> </span></p>
