Comments

Group of 2 pushed our way into the Sande Evonoff provincial park. Raining in valley bottom and ran into 40cm+ new snow at the end of the kittil fsr

The avalanche paths on the way in had signs of very large previous avalanches from this season. We did run into one fresh avalanche on north facing slope. We did probe 40cm before light crust layer and 70cm to hard crust layer. Snow depth was over max on probe.
