Seems the main action now is on the solar aspects.
Found 110cm above last week's dust layer on a NW aspect at 8500'. Tests yielded, really, nothing of interest. ECTN down about 40cm within Tuesday night's storm snow.
Forecast concerns for the next several days include
- Wet avalanches
- Large destructive glide avalanches not just in the usual terrain of Stairs, Broads and Mill B South but also areas like Raymond and Porter Fork Slabs and Room of Doom in Mineral.
- Cornice failure triggering large "new snow" avalanches below.
- Roof-a-lanches.
Snowpack
Wow. I have never seen this much snow in Mill Creek....from driving the canyon to the Porter Fork gate to upper Porter Fork.
Cold dry right side up snow. The trailbreaking was real.
