- We thought conditions were looking sketchy so opted for an exploratory mission to check out access into boulder creek area. Minimal snow up to where you leave the road, first 150m in trees thin, but snowpack dramatically deepens from there up. Conservatives terrain choices as we entered treeline. We dug a pit and found it was about 225cm deep. The March layer was 35-40cm down, the Feb layer about 90. Both layers were reactive in ECT. Large whumpf noted leaving the pit, which remote triggered a size 2 about 40m away on an approx 38 degree slope. We continued on, widespread and somewhat dramatic whumpfing was noted throughout the treeline area we travelled. North facing zone.
