This problem is still present and could be triggered from shallow snowpack areas. See MIN report.
Weather Forecast
A weak ridge builds Wednesday, giving stable weather for the next couple days. Spin-off from a Low impacting the south coast will give cloud and flurries on Friday.Wednesday: Mostly sunny. Light winds. Alpine temps Low -20C, High -12C.A detailed mountain weather forecast is available from Avalanche Canada.
Snowpack Summary
Ongoing cold temps have weakened the structure of the upper snowpack. There is no longer a slab over the persistent weakness sitting down 30-40cm (surface hoar, crusts, and/or facets). The basal snowpack is structurally weak in shallow areas, consisting primarily of facets/depth hoar (cold temps continue to develop this deep persistent weakness).
Avalanche Summary
Several loose dry avalanches up to size 2 have been naturally triggered in the facetting snowpack in steep shallow areas over the past 2-3 days. On Feb 7th, a size 2 deep persistent slab was triggered by skiers in the Maligne area on a W aspect, 1950m, on a 30 degree slope (see MIN).
