[MCR] it's going off

We are receiving reports that experienced backcountry travellers are pulling the plug early today and coming home due to avalanche concerns. In the Purcells, Selkirks, and Monashees at least and maybe other places it looks like all those slopes that have been hanging on by their fingernails are letting go and it’s going off out there. Some folks are saying they are remote triggering 20 degree slopes from 70m away on surface hoar. This may be just the beginning so heads up.
