Quick report
After the storm about a week ago there is soft snow on top of a solid layer. As the avalanche on Courage shows that human triggered avalanches are still possible.
If you choose to travel on glaciers make sure to: get education and training, carry the proper crevase rescue equipment, know how to use it, and travel with solid partners. Thanks to Alaska Safe Riders for taking lead on extracting the snow machine on No Name Glacier.
