Comments
Another hot spring day out in the Crowsnest. Temperatures were 12C at 2000m in the early afternoon. There were several loose wet avalanches that had come down at all elevations on sunny slopes over the last few days, and one that we witnessed directly coming into Window Mountain Bowl (see photo). There were only a couple of small old slabs that had likely been triggered by loose wet avalanches. Keeping our fingers crossed for a return from winter and some new powder soon!
