Avalanche Conditions

We found great riding conditions at window mtn today. 20 cm of new snow and 35 cm of recent snow with NO wind effect! The only avalanche activity we observed were small dry loose avalanches pouring over cliffs from the convective flurries throughout the day. We dug a snow profile to investigate the bond of the snow to the thick crust formed by the atmospheric river. Unfortunately, it appears we have a new persistent slab problem in this area. We found a 1 finger slab over 4 finger facets on top of the crust which is down 75 cm. We got hard, propagating ECT results which indicate human triggering is possible, especially in spots where the crust is closer to the surface. We adjusted our ski objective by backing off into lower angle terrain and had a great day out.
