Anyone looking to head into BC’s backcountry this weekend, might want to reconsider their plans.
An Avalanche warning has been issued for the much of the province, including the Prince George-Northern Rockies region, where the danger rating is high to considerable.
Avalanche Canada says the winter weather is expected to bring a “major increase in avalanche danger.”
The forecaster stated the past three weeks of dry conditions have formed layers that won’t bond with new snow, so as amounts accumulate, it expects “large and dangerous avalanches to be triggered, both naturally and by humans.”
Snowfall warnings across the Interior including Prince George, where the snowfall is expected to ease tonight (Friday).
Upwards of ten centimetres is expected to fall.
