Northern San Juan

Avalanche

Zach Taylor · Nov 25, 2014 · Northern San Juan

Cloudy, windy, and cold. Poor visibility. Lots of new snow.

We did not dig any pits but lots of cracking, collapsing/whumping. Lots of windloading and drifting and lots fresh snow from the last few days.

No avalanches were observed but visibility was poor and we gave steep terrain a healthy distance. Signs of instability were obvious though.
