Bluebird at Lumberton

southrockies, Friday 17th March, 2023 3:50PM

<p>Beautiful day at Lumberton. No wind, full sun, and no new snow. We were surprised to find no crust on solar aspects at 1900 M, instead we had dry pow. No new avalanches seen, lots of old storm slab avalanches from early in the week. By the time we left, the sun was making the snow heavy and dense. </p>
