Watch out, cornices are growing

southrockies, Saturday 8th February, 2025 10:38PM
<p>Recent moderate southwest winds have been contributing to cornice growth and we suspect that it would have created some wind slabs on Lee sides in the Alpine. At Treeline, where we stayed today, wind effect was minimal and ski conditions were awesome. We did not observe signs of instability and our snowpack tests did not produce Pops or Drops. </p>
