Comments
Was out with some students up the bijoux riding area and saw3 avalanches 2 natural releases at ridge top on east north east aspects. The 3rd was at same aspect but suspected it was a snowmobile triggered. No results on extended column tests or compression tests. Did get a report from Sunday of a full burial in an avalanche in the salt and pepper shaker.
