Comments
Reported to me by the riding group. One full burial. Heavily windloaded slope that performs regularly. Very large fetch zone on the windward side enables heavy loading of this slope. Slope is used to access the rest of the riding area. Group was traveling one at a time.
Reports of other wsl avalanches in Clemina Creek from 170212 as well although no noteable info. Winds have really been moving new snow around over the last two days. Use caution in wind loaded terrain.
