Avalanche Canada Ends Special Warning

Avalanche Canada has ended its special public avalanche warning issued Friday for all areas in BC and Alberta.

The organization sent out the warning due to weak layers which had developed in the upper snowpack, formed during periods of drought in January and February and buried between 30 and 100 centimetres deep.

While the warning ended yesterday afternoon, Avalanche Canada is still urging backcountry enthusiasts to always check the avalanche forecast before making plans to head out, at Avalanche Canada.
