Comments
Observations from the northwest and northeast side of Burwell Mountain. Several very large and deep slab avalanches released during the heavy rains on the Easter weekend. Most likely from April 7 or 9. This area received over 400 mm of rain with two warm storms. The slabs likely released on deep weak layers near the base of the snowpack - crowns appeared to be 2-4 m deep.
