Comments
Witnessed a really reactive snowpack yesterday with 2 skiers involvment on a convex and steep roll on spearhead glacier. Slab avalanche was triggered by a skier and propagate to the adjacent slope. We skied vista bowl and triggered a few slabs on small features at tree line propagating far with crown as deep as 40 cm running on the january 6th mfc. We noticed a few avalanches skier triggered at the bottom of chisel, on decker glacier. Heard of a windslab that propagated accross the entire couloir of husume on tuesday.
