Solar Avalanche Cycle today

Mountain Conditions Report

<p>Guided at King Creek today. The ice climbs are all still in good condition. The day warmed up to +6 Celsius, few clouds in the sky, moderate to strong west winds, and strong solar. </p> <p>Avalanche observations:<br /> -Just after 2pm while climbing above the far left gully ice route we witnessed an estimated size 2 loose wet avalanche roll over the cliffs further up the creek. See pic (we missed capturing the main blast).<br /> -One the walk out numerous of the south facing slide paths slid during the day. See pics. The north facing slide paths have yet to release.<br /> -All avalanches are assumed to be solar triggered. </p> <p>Rockfall<br /> -Rockfall was observed and heard throughout the day coming from mainly the south facing cliffs. </p> <p>Felt like spring is on its way today!</p> <p>Patrick Lindsay<br /> Ridgeline Guiding Services<br /> <a href="http://www.ridgelineguiding.com">www.ridgelineguiding.com</a></p>
