Deep snow and deep creeks

Yukon Field Team, Saturday 8th February, 2025 10:38PM
<p>The week long storm was in full effect with another 15 cm of new snow and strong south wind when we arrived at Fraser. 80 cm of recent snow makes for challenging trail breaking, especially since warm temperatures and wind have made the surface highly variable with pockets of deep powder, hard wind slabs, and stiff snow above soft snow. With concern about storm slabs, we stuck to small supported terrain features and found the new snow was not showing signs of being reactive on these slopes. Bigger slopes in the alpine looked heavily wind-loaded.</p>

Avalanche Conditions

30cm + of new snow, or significant drifting, or rain in the last 48 hours.
