Heckin Pow

Location: Flute Summit to Oboe Creek, Oboe Summit to Singing Pass via the Apostles. INCREDIBLE day, with approximately 25-30 cm of new, low-density snow across most aspects. Snow stability felt generally good on our route from Oboe down to Singing Pass, with minimal signs of instability in most areas. -Some isolated shooting cracks and a hollow feeling were observed on N-NW ridgetop features, particularly in wind-loaded areas near ridgelines. -Avalanche Activity: Observed an older size 1-1.5 avalanche on a NNW aspect of Oboe Face, with the start zone located around 1850m elevation. The slide appeared to have occurred earlier in the day, if not in days prior (potentially on Friday, March 21st). -Moderate warming during periods of sun around 12-1300hrs, mostly on SSE aspects at ridgeline. Snow was visibly heavier, some (very small) pinwheels starting.
