Today we went looking for wind slabs and found some from the last day or two on north through east facing aspects at higher elevations. At treeline and lower elevations on southerly terrain there were slides that looked like they ran with the recent warm temperatures on the deeper sugary facets. We also found pockets of good riding below the wind zone. What do you think of this slide: is it just a wind slab or did it go wide because of those old sugary facets?
Recent avalanche on a northeast aspect, crown is a good 1.5 metres
Same avalanche, different perspective
Still some fine riding to be found at the magic elevation higher than the temperature crust but below the wind zone.
