Instability Comment
<p>Given the recent storms and avalanche observations my partner and I decided to take a walk over to Mt Wolverine bowl to dig a pit and see what we'd find. Being upper elevation (10600') and NE facing we expected to see the PWL. Pit details:</p> <ul> <li>Wind loaded </li> <li>95 cm depth HS</li> <li>PWL at ground (decomposing facets) </li> <li>PWL at 40 cm </li> <li>CT22 planar collapse @ 40 cm PWL </li> </ul> <p>In isolated areas, was non-reactive to us but we stuck to low angle terrain. </p>
