Weekend warriors beware! ⚠️ Adhere to @avalancheca ’s SPAW (Special Public Avalanche Warning). Sometimes your best decision is to save it for another day.
Avalanche Canada@avalancheca

A Special Public Avalanche Warning is in effect for most forecast regions across BC and Alberta until March 3. A cohesive slab of snow 30 - 100 cm thick is sitting over weak layers in the snowpack and causing dangerous avalanche conditions. Learn more at avalanche.ca

A few news pieces on our #RoofsForRescuers quest were incorrect the amount of funding a SAR team receives. It is relative to size and capabilities of the team, with the maximum allocation being $100,000. Our team, for example, receives just over $86,000.
