Comments
Went for a walk up to Copilot. It rained to the top overnight Friday/Saturday and pretty much every single slope we saw had avalanched. The entire width of Stadium Glacier slid and the bowl was full of debris. Same with the whole slope overhanging the skier's right gulley below the glacier. The crowns were relatively shallow, but propagation was very wide. The snow was extremely heavy and wet but still ok for skiing up high - it became much worse after entering the forest. Warm temps and raining very lightly during the morning.
