Comments

Today we saw several more "windslabs" that ripped wide -- they ain't your regular ol' windslab. We're thinking sugary facets from that cold dry first half of February. It was really windy today but with the sunny dry air most of the snow was going back into the air and building clouds rather than building wind slabs. We're choosing to avoid fat alpine slopes unless they're small. Facet problems don't heal in just a day or two.
Deep windslab across the entire mountain makes me think of February's sugary facets.
Wind transported snow was building clouds rather than slabs.
Wall-to-wall slab below the headwall
Another slab pulled from the fan and ran into riding terrain sometime in the last few days.
