Comments
Warm weather conditions. Plus 1 at truck beginning of the day rising 2 to 4 degrees in afternoon. Wet snow conditions in trees until getting above 1250m. 10-15 cm of residual power on top of firm snow pack above 1250. No signs of instability in trees. The chute/slide area had several slides in and above the chute. Large release 0.75 to 1m in depth within the chute. Top 70 m of slide area was still holding snow. I avoided avalanche terrain and rode trees.
