Avalanche Conditions

avalancheConditionSlab

A pretty spicy afternoon on Kokanee. We skied in Kokanee bowl both of us kicked of decent Avy’s size 1.5, they started slow but gained momentum quick. Small pockets but running far for the size. Crowns are 15-30cm deep. Some others dropped into Africa bowl and cut out a 2.5 skiing down. On their way up and out another smaller slide happened but then remoted triggered numerous other slopes. These slopes had been skied on the way down. These slides in Africa bowl had very impressive propagation. On another note making our way out to slack I have never seen so many people out there without bags or proper gear. Unfortunately they probably won't read this report but it's heads up hockey out there.
