Long weekend avalanche warning issued in B.C. amid deadly season
“You don’t necessarily see signs of instability before seeing large disruptive avalanches — you could recreate in the mountains all day and you wouldn’t necessarily get the classic signs like natural avalanches or human-triggered avalanches …. the first sign of instability could be that large avalanche,” Rettie said.
Rettie said the slab is most dangerous in areas with a shallower snowpack, often at the upper treeline or lower alpine regions and often in areas that are wind-affected.He said some experts are comparing the situation to the deadly 2003 avalanche season, when a record 29 people died in B.C. and Alberta mountains, a horrific toll that led to the foundation of Avalanche Canada.
