My buddy Pete Ingle sent me these photos of the slide he triggered in Todd's Bowl off Murdock Peak today. This slope has avalanched multiple times this year, after he dropped off the hang fire he triggered a 6 inch deep and 40ft wide avalanche on facets at the ground, the new 6 inches of snow from Mondays storm, slid on facets that had formed near the ground interface, it ran through the trees and broke out the lower part of the slope as well. Good example of low not always being a go, gotta take each slope separately, and make a call from there.
