Weather

Blustery, snowy conditions touring on the second day of a Never Summer Outdoor School AIARE 1 class

Snowpack

Most prevalent instablities were in the new snow below treeline, and between wind slabs and old snow above. There's a weaker near surface facet about mid snowpack that takes some provocation to react.

Avalanche

We observed a slide that seemed to have happened that day. We may have spoken with the party that triggered it, but it didn't seem to COMPLETELY line up with their story.
