Spearhead: Vista Bowl

msulkers, Saturday 8th February, 2025 10:38PM
<p>Saw far too many skier initiated avalanches today to give comprehensive report. Many size 1-2 dry slab releases on Northerly asp mostly on sudden convexities from 1800-2300m or directly under cornices. Most going in recent HST but a significant number on 180222 MFcr as well. Vista Chute and adjacent slope to N each released to size 2. On southern asp loose wet point releases entraining to size 1. Solar slopes in alp moistening to 15-20cm deep iver previous MFcr.</p>
