Avalanche

Alpine was hit hard at Shames this weekend. Several small size 1s were skier triggered on the wind affected N-E aspects ran on the wind affected slopes 20cm above the 5mm crust from the warming and rain event of last week. Small propagation to skier trigger that ran fast and far, breaking up in the track, and not entraining further snow or affecting the skier. This was in Cherry Bowl Saturday, and Zumbuk on Sunday (or Sat afternoon?). No visible new results on the S aspects. Ski quality was pretty good.
