Anyone planning any activities over the next few days, please pay attention
to our Parks Canada avalanche bulletins. Avalanche control today on our
highways, produced avalanches up to size 4, some of them exceeding their 40
year trim lines on the Sunshine road. This was a major storm and today we
saw many large avalanches stepping down to the dirt and that would have
annihilated your house.
