If you’ve been out and about in the BC interior backcountry lately, you’ve seen them. You’ve also seen what a buried layer of them are doing to avalanche prone slopes. It’s super sketchy out there, and once it snows (it will snow) it’s going to be majorly superly sketchy. Enjoy the sun, be happy, but be smart. Check out these photos from Steve Ogle: “This is what all the tiptoeing around has been over the last few weeks… (and will be for the rest of the season). Biggest one was around 15cm, around the size of your hand.”
