Comments

Mild and calm in field today.

Snow amounts above Superbock are relatively low. A mix of facets and old settled out wind slabs that don’t currently provide much hazard but could be good sliding surfaces in the future.

Looking across to the terrain above Silk Tassel it seems the recent heat and solar input produced two sz1 point release avalanches that did not run very far.
