    There is a fair bit of uncertainty associated with weak mid-pack layers.  Although isolated, there have been numerous natural avalanches in the past 2 days that have failed in the mid-pack or on the ground.

Avalanche Summary

Skier accidental sz 2.5 reported from the Shangri-La area today, triggered remotely from a shallow spot and stepped down to ground.  Avalanche control work in the Columbia Icefield area produced mainly storm slabs in the size 2 range and isolated larger avalanches up to size 3 that failed on ground. Widespread natural cycle in the past 24 hours.
