Noticed evidence of recent wind related activity on the east face of Providence Peak. And easily triggered wet sluffs on mid elevation test slopes near the green gate in Providence Canyon
Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>Triggered several wet sluffs entraining all of Thursday's heavy new snow on mid elevation test slopes near the Green Gate. These were pretty short slopes and I can imagine fairly big piles of heavy debris with sluffs that run further on longer slopes. </p> <p>Wind slab avalanches and large cornice falls are likely in drifted upper and mid elevation terrain.</p>
