Reactive storm slab

Mountain Conditions Report

<p>Yesterday afternoon while making our way up to Puffy Daddy, above the info centre in Roger's Pass, we triggered a size 2 slab while crossing the gully to get to the top of the run. (no involvement)<br /> Unfortunately, due to bad lighting, couldnt get any good pics of it.</p> <p>Due to location and remaining hangfire we didnt feel safe getting closer to get better data, so take this with a large grain of salt: it was approximately 60-80cm deep, 20m across and ran for 50m. Plenty of wind effect, and being a SE facing gully at 2200m lead us to assume a windslab.</p> <p>We bailed and skied down Rogers Run instead. We stuck to well supported open glades, and managed to make it home without anymore excitement. =)</p> <p>Cheers<br /> Jason Guptill</p>
