Several large slab avalanches have been observed in alpine terrain over the past few days in the Whistler area up to size 3, suspected to have failed on the December crust. These occurred on Flute Mountain, Decker Mountain, Gentian Peak, and across the highway near the Callaghan, all in steep rocky terrain. Last night there was some crust recovery, but none the previous night due to warm temperatures. The snow is melting fast, it was the last day of skiing on Whistler today.
