Snowpack

Good views of the carnage from the December 4 avalanche cycle. Above treeline, we observed a dozen naturally triggered soft slab avalanches, large enough to bury someone, failing 2-4 feet deep on what we estimate to be the recent storm interface. We also remotely triggered several similar slides from ridgelines, failing on facets 3 feet deep. These slides were observed on NW, N, NE, E, and SE aspects above treeline. One slide on a SE aspect ATL appeared to involve the entire snowpack in places. See photos.
