Avalanche Conditions

Parked at 800, you need chains Snow was crusted at and below 1200 (ride out kind of sucked) "Mid" coverage in upper cut blocks Trees and all above cut blocks were good. Snow down to weather station was dry. Adhesion was not an issue in zones we skied. Some sloughing and small events at point releases in the surrounding ridges around mtfee (not sure if new or old). There was a rider initiated 1.420 sized release on a convex thick thin zone, west aspect. (90% sure human) Momentary solar moment but not long enough to generate an effect, maybe some south aspects near by didn't fare as well. Pics on my link page. Early season has been great! Stay safe!
