I intentionally triggered from ridge ne ankle biter soft slab 3- 4" deep 30'wide pane to run 15 feet on n facing western ridge of renolds peak. problem was not just on high ridges, went lower in elevation w, </p> <p>strong s wind + snow avail for transport+ surface facets from cold clear nights=sensitive wind slabs. how much snow will be added due to wind? will extra weight trigger deep slab? could a wind slab go and trigger a deep slab? a lot depends on wind. very manageable so far. </p> <p>I didn't see any big ones, but suspect they are being created/ growing, and will be sensitive.</p>
pretty stellar snow all aspects, decent coverage all elevations, nice not seeing mud/dirt in butler fork. sun crust gone.
