Comments
Kootenay Avalanche Courses AST 1 group found sudden shears on a hard compression test down 30, 3cm above the Dec 8 crust. We also had a whumpf on a 20 degree slope. Wondering if the Rossland Range will see similar activity to what is happening in the Selkirks once we get a little more load on that layer.
