[MCR] S Rockies Danger Ratings Update

Subject: [MCR] S Rockies Danger Ratings Update
Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2011 14:08:04 -0700

Due to unexpected precipitation rates and accumulation the CAC has changed danger ratings to HIGH at all elevations in the Lizard Range for today. Danger ratings for tomorrow are expected to be CONSIDERABLE at this time. There is potential for another cycle of large avalanches failing on deeply buried layers similar to what occurred in early March. This may prompt a special warning for the weekend. The updated bulletin can be viewed here: http://www.avalanche.ca/cac/bulletins/latest/south-rockies We will update this bulletin again at the usual time this afternoon. Stay tuned!
