Avalanche Conditions

Rapid wind loading in the alpine allowed for repeated size 1.5 slides to run down the obvious cleft of Mt Ogden. 17 people attempted to find the stellar conditions reported earlier last week and were justifiably scared off the slope after 10 minutes elapsed between slides than ran 350m down the slope.
