Developing avalanche problem - Joey Vosburgh facebook post

Mountain Conditions Report

<p>I am posting this on behalf of Joey Vosburgh ACMG Ski Guide, who wrote this summary on Facebook yesterday.</p> <p>"What's next after a prolonged period of no snow and high pressure? </p> <p>A widespread SURFACE CONDITION. </p> <p>AKA; Facets on N and shady aspects, Surface Hoar in protected areas, crusts on solar aspects, hard wind slabs in exposed TL/ALP and old avalanche bed surfaces. </p> <p>With this approaching storm they get inevitably buried. </p> <p>These interfaces all need consideration and should be approached cautiously with an assessment mindset.<br /> #avalanchecanada #surfacehoar #facets #reloadedbedsurface #windslab"</p> <p>By the way it has now been snowing in Revelstoke since Saturday afternoon - in town there is approximately 20cm accumulated already and it is dumping potato size snowflakes as I type. Looks like less in the Pass but this system will last overnight and into tomorrow so unsure how much it will end up accumulating.</p> <p>Scott Davis ACMG Mountain Guide<br /> images are courtesy of Joey</p>
