Avalanche Conditions

avalancheConditionTemp

We experienced temps of around 0c at 2200m elevation. We saw snow falling from the trees and "cinnamon rolls" forming from our skin track. Temps slightly lower as we climbed higher. On our way down, remote released a size 1 failing on 25cm of storm slab from the latest storm. No reactivity seen on the lower layers of faceting snow. No results on a pit test. Snow depth 150cm at 2200m. Riding quality was good.
