Comments
Snowmobiled a few ridges back in the Burn Torpy area. Great ridding in the trees and drainages with 40+cm of new snow. Multiple natural avalanches on east facing slopes. Some sled triggered avalanches from the noise not by traveling on the slopes. Very spicy snowpack, avalanches below treeline as well.
