'We are now at the tipping point': Avalanche warnings in effect for much of B.C.

Weak layers of snow and another predicted dump of powder over the weekend could heighten avalanche risks across B.C.

Avalanche Canada has issued a special public warning for much of the B.C. Interior that is expected to last through the weekend.

“It’s a complex situation and we are now at the tipping point,” James Floyer with Avalanche Canada said in a statement. “The warmer temperatures forecast for the coming weekend will definitely increase the chances of triggering an avalanche.”
