- <p> </p> <p>The Uintas experienced a significant avy cycle, but many paths rapidly filled in and it's hard to detect whether they ran or not. </p> <p>So... I spent the day stomping around upper elevation, leeward terrain in the wind zone, I knew avalanched during the height of the big Jan. 14th storm. I wanted to see how deep or shallow those starting zones are and if they have the potential to roar back to life in the future when winter returns. </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Some common themes-.</strong></p> <p>Starting zones needed to be in the wind zone to really connect the dots</p> <p>Current HS in terrain that avalanched averages approx 100 cm.</p> <p>I think most paths failed on facets above the Nov. 16th raincrust and left behind a faceted junkshow that's about 30 cm in depth with a strong, 70 cm storm slab (1 fing to 1 fing +) resting on top. </p>
Shallow cream on a supportable base! Es muy bueno!
