It was the first sunny day at Allan Creek since the storm. We expected to see avalanche activity, we didn't expect to see almost every unsupported slope sliding from human activity. We used good terrain management to travel safely through the backcountry. We stopped at many machine triggered accidental avalanches. Did a fracture line profile at 2100 meters, facing north. Fracture was at 45cms. Failed on 15mms of SH. Test result showed sudden collapse at 66cms on the facets above February crust.
