Avalanche

Pete Lardy · Jan 10, 2016 · Front Range

Light winds have not moved much snow (yet) in the past few days since our upslope storm.

With the new (5-6") upslope snow seen in the the four corners low Thursday and Friday there is poor bonding with the existing wind slabs.

Loose Dry (R1D1) in 5-6" new storm snow on leeward loaded slope above tree line. East facing 40* slope at 12,200'
