Quick report

We stopped by Apgar to scan the mountains surrounding Lake McDonald and the Garden Wall for recent avalanche activity.

  • Multiple loose wet slides noted on NW-W-SW slopes. We did not have a good view of the other aspects. These were a mix of D1.5 and D2. 
  • We did not notice any slab avalanches, although we were viewing mountains miles away and certainly could have missed a few.
  • Overall, avalanche activity associated with the recent warm and wet storm was underwhelming on the terrain we could see.
