Miserable depth along the 1A. Faceted to ground in the trees and not much better in the alpine. Not really surprising but a heads up to anyone heading out there.

Avalanche

Very slow moving slough comprising of surface facets from a turn gained enough momentum to continue to the bottom of the slope. Snowpack was very thin throughout the feature, 10 - 50cm, with a 2-5cm sun crust on top.
