It sure shows that the cycle was a widespread one and worse in areas that were colder in early December. It's noteworthy that many of the slides broke out in shallower areas - a sign of faceted snow or depth hoar.
A couple of the Whistler slides Lee Lau posted were amazing for the width of propagation, which speaks to the weakness of the basal layer. One of them even crossed two major ridgelines!
With poor freezes due to lack of clear skies and a rebound in the freezing level on the weekend some more stuff may well rip out given the "success" avalanches had last weekend.
