Comments
Sketchy weekend! Lutak zone, Saturday and Sunday: widespread whumping from 2000' to 4000'. Observed recent activity: SS-N-D2-R3-O [NE aspect, 2800ft, 33 degrees, 45cm deep x 40m wide, ran on 3mm facets above the ice crust, see photo1]. Widespread natural D2 slides on NW, N and SE aspects around 3500ft. 30-45cm deep. Slopes 32-40 degrees. Ski cut result on E aspect at 3500ft, 40 degree slope: [ SS-ARc-D2-R2-O, see photo2] ran on facet layer above ice crust. Note, thick facet layer remained on slope and could probably re-load and re-avalanche. Originally posted by Erik Stevens on avalanchesnow.org
