There have been a lot of glide cracks forming to the ground recently. Some of them have been completly covered by snow drifting over them and are now completly invisible.
Some areas are a minefield waiting for the unwary.
So if you head out in the BC especially on south facing slopes please be careful. I saw that Minakami Now on SJ warned about the same thing and it is very pertinent at this time of the year.
