Avalanche risk 'extreme' for parts of B.C. coast
Please boost-thanks
The avalanche danger rating for mountains on B.C.’s South Coast was “extreme” on Boxing Day, according to Canada’s non-profit forecaster.
The regions with the highest rating on Avalanche Canada’s 5-point scale include the North Shore—containing Grouse, Cypress and Seymour mountains—northern Fraser Valley and the Sunshine Coast. [read the article please]
Avalanche Canada said the storms that hit coastal B.C. over Christmas, which led to treacherous driving conditions, ferry cancellations and power outages, have created prime conditions for avalanches on mountains in the area.
“We expect that widespread, large, natural and human-triggered avalanches will be very likely throughout the storm,” the current forecast reads. “Travel in avalanche terrain during periods of rapid loading from new snow and wind are strongly not recommended.”
