- <p>Calm before the storm and wanted to see how the new snow was bonding and search for the PWL on a northernly wooded aspect. No red flags on a brief tour but noted several large trees down snapped at the ground and tops broken off lying around the forest like tooth picks. Several of these appeared to be 30 years old or greater.</p> <p>Large avalanche around the corner in Silverfork naturally breaking on the PWL with increased storm load last week. Most activity appeared to be wind slab / soft slab in the new snow. PWL healing but still lurking as it gets progressively buried by these frequent storms.</p>
