Clemina Creek

<p>Hey guys, we held an AST - 1 course up Clemina Creek today and saw all kinds of activity! On the approach up to the cabin we notice point release avalanches on the SE aspects in the alpine on moderate to steep slopes. We also noticed size 1 to 2 slab avalanches on NE aspects at alpine on moderate to steep slopes. It looked wind loaded at the trigger points that set off multiple slopes below. At 1500 meters we dug our first pit on a small no risk 26 degree slope. We parked on the trail and walked to it. The whole feature whumpfed and cracked along the top as we got onto it. We dug multiple Compression Tests and got Medium 12 results on the December 15 Surface Hoar with Sudden Planner fails. Out side Temp was -12C and 30cm's down was -5.6C. Our Extended Column Test propagated also on the December 15 Surface Hoar. Height of snow was 115cm at that location with 15 to 20cm of fresh unconsolidated snow on top of the tracked up snowpack. Keep your head on a swivel the next few days as temperatures warm. Be aware of what and who's above you. Watch out for terrain traps as small unsupported slops could cause havoc.</p>
