A prolonged bout of precipitation has lead to another weekend of extreme avalanche risk in Interior B.C. Avalanche Canada's most recent forecast, issued Friday evening, lists almost the entire eastern half of the province at "high" avalanche risk — the second-highest rating on its five-point scale. "Only the most simple avalanche terrain free of overhead hazard is appropriate at this time." Avalanche risk is also listed as considerable for much of the rest of the province, including the South and North Coasts. "Even professionals in the industry, we're stepping back and we're choosing previously skied terrain and reducing exposure to large overhead avalanche terrain," he said.
