Vail & Summit County

Avalanche

Experienced very reactive new snow today, and triggered multiple small (D1) slides that broke within the new snow (4-6 inches deep). Primarily on N aspects and at a wide range of elevations, for the most part breaking predictably from our skis. Two instances of wider propagation (up to 75ft) when approaching steep rollovers. We also observed a number of new natural avalanches on N aspects near ridgelines (up to D2). We experienced loud collapsing in the snowpack several times near valley bottoms and observed one deeper avalanche that had run since the Feb 27th / 28th snow on a NW aspect at approx. 10,400ft, potentially on a PWL (though we did not investigate).
