Avalanche Information

new avalanche visible from town of Smithers. This location is a regular performer based on interaction of upper end of reg temp/rain crust influence, cross/downslope loading and shallow and rocky weak points in start zone. Hard to tell if this failed on Dec basal crusts or Jan facet interface, but I'd lean towards Jan facet interface. Est failed late yesterday with strong wind and snowfall, or today with with warming. Nearby snow surface shows very sig wind effect from SW cross/downslope wind transport and etching. Light not good for photo.
