Came across the Grizz Gulch near miss that has been well documented at this point only a few minutes after it happened, she is very lucky there were multiple parties nearby to do a rescue since her party had no gear.

Instability Comment
<p>Been digging pits up here for the last three days with courses...NSF is getting stronger but still very reactive, possibly making it trickier and harder to manage. It is now showing moderate strength, poor structure and high propagation propensity. The temp gradients I measured today lead me t believe it the weather fx verifies in the coming 10 days, most, if not all, of our snowpack will facet quite quickly. </p>
