B.C. Interior Avalanche danger remains considerable as February snow further complicates snowpack
Recent snowfall throughout southern B.C. has further complicated an already complex snowpack that formed early this winter and further increased the risk of large avalanches.
“Overall the theme is that the snowpack was tricky to start with and now has gotten even more complex and more layered at this time of year,” Horton said. “Being caught in an avalanche is a life-threatening situation that has already claimed twelve lives in the Interior Health region this season,” said Dr. Fatemeh Sabet, medical health officer, Interior Health. “There have been more than double the number of avalanche fatalities compared to the previous season and we are only halfway through the season.”
