Avalanche

Ben Shipowitz · Dec 24, 2017 · Vail & Summit County

Few clouds. Moderate windloading at ridge tops.

Every ten or so steps would result in a whumph. Shooting cracks occured throughout the skin as well.

Obvious signs of instabilities from the windloading. Avalanche was around 12,100 on a NE aspect above treeline. R3 D2
