Comments

First time posting back on the MIN in far too long. Party of 3 skiing Paul Ridge in Squamish. Previous tracks in the area were not visibile. Approximately 25people out skiing in the area today. Ski cut testing had numerous size 1.5 soft slab results approximately 25cm deep. Touchy triggering with good propagation at ridgetop. Observed 2 size 1 avalanches in immediate vicinity one of which was triggered by a large tree bomb. Limited alpine obs, did not see any activity on Atwell peak. The temperature ranged between -1 & -2°C. See GPS track data and photos at this link http://bit.ly/2Zbcfhg
