Quick report

Lots of recent avalanche activity from the past few days. Did not see any new slabs from the wind and PWL today but helicopter work on hemispheres triggered some avalanches, most likely on the persistent layer. Decided to dig on a north aspect and do a Rutschblock test just to see if a collapse would happen, no results on that weak crust layer around 115 cm in the specific area excavated. Also Church Mt road has no access again, slide came down and blocked with road.

Avalanche

N aspects seems to be where all the slabs are setting off/ stepping down from the pictures taken. Solar aspects had lots of wet loose problems.
