Triggered Multiple Avalanches all aspects, we started Bugs to Rogerspass Traverse and we got surprised with unstable snow conditions at all aspects at around 2400m elevation, we triggered a size 2 at snow patch Col (NE aspect), weather was forecasted to well below zero but we got rapid warming throughout the day within Whiteout conditions, after reaching Bills Pass I triggered a size 3 and got buried to my chest (NW aspect). We managed to get to the Malloy Igloo and Heli out , very sketchy and touchy conditions at all aspects, weather forecast is now changing to more warming temperatures!
