Quick report

Red Flags
Heavy Snowfall, Wind Loading, Poor Snowpack Structure

Headed up Mats Basin around 3pm. There was an obvious graupel layer between the new and old snow. Snow was coming down at around 3 inches an hour and sliding fast on the graupel layer. We were able to trigger dry loose avalanches on rollovers. The gully next to the exit was littered with slides.
