Avalanche

Surprisingly little new activity out on the Pemberton Icecap today - isolated thin slabs 24-48 hours old, and evidence of several wet slabs to size 2.5 from last week’s rain event at the toe of the Appa. The snow stayed dry on the glaciers with up to 40cm of great quality snow lower on the glaciers, higher elevations had some wind affect. This was by far the most significant slide from the most recent cycle. Possibly running on a crust considering the propagation.
