Quick report

Cracking
specific

The remnants of two major avalanches one above sardine meadows in canyon facing east to west, and one in the voodoo shoot. Massive wind effects and heavy loading on primarily northeast facing slopes. Was a mixture of sun and strong cold west wind. We stayed off all steep slopes with the exception of one jump landing that slid upon impact. Overall with the wind and the amount of snow I was expecting to see more activity.

Avalanche

We caused one small slab avalanche approximately 30ft wide 8inch crown and travel 50ft down hill. It was on very steep north facing landing off a small cornice at 9680ft
