Avalanche Canada says it’s continuing to monitor a deep, persistent slab avalanche problem for many regions.The agency says the slab is causing very dangerous and highly unpredictable avalanche conditions, and is encouraging people to stay away from steep slopes and terrain.
“This is a highly unusual and unpredictable snowpack.

Avalanche Canada also said it expects these conditions to last the remainder of the winter in some areas.
