Avalanche Conditions

avalancheConditionSlab

Travel at and above tree line is becoming difficult due to the lack of new snow. Faceted surface snow over crusts making for slippery skin tracks and above the tree line, wind pressed snow and sun crusts necessitating the use of ski crampons. Still some good snow to be found below tree line on areas protected from sun and wind. Noted a solar triggered avalanche that appeared to be from that day.
