Careful Out There

rachelonsorge, Sunday 19th March, 2023 7:30PM

<p>Warm wet day following the pretty recent snow dump, had a localized whump on the up track, and found a small skier triggered avalanche, likely from yesterday. Wind effect at higher elevations, to beautiful powder, and wet heavy melting snow near the bottom. Avoided and/or cut the top of convexities prior to skiing under them with no results. Just about spring t shirt skiing! </p>
