Avalanche

blase reardon · Mar 19, 2016 · Aspen

Surprisingly cool, esp in wind. Few/ no clouds. Variable, gusty winds.

Snow from storm earlier in the week settling out on shaded slopes; refrozen on sunny.

Punchy, unsupportable snow in vicinity of 3/18/16 skier-triggered slide. Appeared to be facets above early February bed surfaces.
