Where There’s A Whiltilla There’s A Way!

The Bonanza Range did not received the same snow that fell in the Strathcona area. We found 5cm of fresh snow above 1200m elevation. A sun crust was present on all but protected N slopes. All aspects seemed wind affected. Wind was 50km/h+ on summits and ridges. Spring seasonal hazards are quite common currently. Logging roads are melting out in sections and creeks are open and dangerous to cross. No natural or skier triggered avalanches observed. Plenty of pinwheeling on sunny slopes.
