Parks Canada conducted avalanche control today on Mt. Field, Stephen and Dennis. 10/12 shots produced slab avalanches up to size 3 failing on the Jan. 30th persistent weak layer. This layer was ~ 40 cm deep in this area. We saw good propagations with most of these avalanches. We also saw 2-3 natural avalanches on the Mt. Field ski tour to size 2 that ran sometime during the storm. For Ice Climbers: We put shots above Pilsner and Carlsberg and triggered a size 2.5 that ran over Pilsner and beside Carlsberg. We also put a shot near Guinness Stout and had no result.
