Quick Observation

Lots of loose dry avalanches on the Mammoth Head & Mongolia headwall. Saw some loose dry caused by tree bombs, not running too far. Tried to push a few convexities, got some to go loose dry 20-30 deep, not running far. Ski quality was phenomenal, but we were very cautious of overhead hazard. Didnt want to get lured out into the open bowls or fan features. Saw a Na Sz2 in El-Tubo from Mongolia ridge. Plenty of good skiing in mellow trees right now.

Avalanche Information

Heard a 10s rumble, looked over and saw a powder cloud coming out of El Tubo. Avalanche terminated Mid Path. Watch your overhead!!!!

Moderate blowing snow at ridgetop between Siberia & Mongolia. Moderate blowing snow on Mongolia Headwall.
