Weather

Weather: Sunny and windy AF

Snowpack

Snowpack: Guess what? It’s all facets. 130cm hst, 3 melt freeze crusts 3cm or thinner, about 20cm apart, all facets from about 40cm down. With about 20cm of windbuff on top. Like sour cream on top of a rotten burrito. Tried 2 ects, both failed before fully isolated ;)~ Its going to get better……right????

Avalanche

Avalanches: A few D2’s off of primarily southern aspect, solar influenced. 1 ran at ~10am, the others maybe 2 hours after. 2 shaped drainages in the lower reaches slid wall to wall, likely during our last load
