- Recent Avalanches, Rapid Warming
- Red Flags Comment
- <p>I observed mainly wet loose natural avalanches today, some of these were entraining a decent amount of heavy wet debris as they moved down the slope. These are not big slides, but you would not want to be in the path of some of these.</p>
Not great photos of a few of the bigger wet natural slides I observed up the Mirror Lake Hwy from today.
Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>Many slopes have started to shed their winter coats with some decent debris piles on mostly east through west facing slopes. </p>
Spring like snow out there, a light refreeze this morning allowed for a brief window of supportable snow, but the temperatures quickly warmed-up and the snow pack was too soft for sled travel in the low and mid elevations. The higher terrain provided some decent riding with damp powder like snow in protected high north facing terrain.
