Commentaires

Submission by the Kokanee Cabin Custodian. I have been very impressed with this self-guided group and their terrain selection this past week. They have been very disciplined by sticking to terrain under 30 degrees and avoiding overhead exposure. Although avalanches have been remotely triggered (50-250m away) almost every day, there have been no involvements. If interested, I also uploaded a video to the Kootenay Avalanche Courses YouTube Channel, further describing yesterday's large avalanches: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTMfxxWAPxAO0YNzwmS1SmA
A separate Size 2.5 avalanche, remote-triggered from 150m.
Left side of Smuggler's Bowl, size 3.0, remote-triggered by a group skinning on the other side of the ridge in a different drainage, 250m away.
40m wide strip of terrain that did not avalanche. Size 3.0 to the left and Size 3.0 to the right both went sympathetically from the remote-trigger, 250m away.
Far right side of the Smuggler's Bowl area. Combined propagation width was about 800m from one end of the crown to the other.
