- Interesting to see a SE aspect slope avalanche for at least the 3rd time this year. Looked like a skier accidental sz 2-2.5 suspect wind slab on the October crust/Facets. Photo 1 todays view of skier accidental sz 2-2.5 avalanche Photo 2 marked up to show this years avalanche sequence over the last 2 months. 1: Sz 3.5 skier remote, 2: sz 2 natural windslabs, 3: skier accidental sz 2-2.5 (recent) Photo 3 cracking and hang fire in alpine feature. we avoided undercutting or touching steep side walls in alpine features for fear of triggering slabs from below, we had cracking down 40cm on the edge of steep uncompacted terrain features. Note: I did a MCR report the other day but it is only visible on the Avalanche Canada web site, it's not visible on the app, MCR reports should be visible on the app with a future upgrade. Also if you can't tell I'm an artist from the photo check out my Insta for art and fun ski pics @aaronskienns shreds up!!
