Comments

Snowmobile day at quartz. Saw evidence of 4 recent slab/wind slab avalanches and witnessed one group of snowboarders set off an level 2 . All avalanches where on north /northeast aspects and convex slopes. Evidence of wind slabs. We stuck to mellow below tree line terrain due to witnessing high reactivity at tree line and above.
