Steamboat & Flat Tops

Avalanche

Really nice calm, clear day. The high temp at Elk River SNOTEL reached 40 degF. Cooler on the summit, but still very warm.

All aspects that were sheltered from the wind had significant surface hoar growth. Growth on north faces was more prominent.

East chute on Hahns Peak, ran after last storm cycle, most likely during or shortly after Feb 7 wind event.
