Quick report
- Collapsing
- widespread
Widespread natural avalanche activity from last 24 hrs. All persistent slab avalanches, failing on snow near the ground. All avalanches observed were in mid and upper elevation terrain, east through north aspects. Numerous collapses- but not obvious unless you were listening closely. Multiple collapses while recycling our skin track, and not while setting the skin track (bridging). HS ranged from 120-170cms where we were traveling. On a north aspect at 9500' we had a HS135, and ECTN25 at 43 (4F, 2mm rounding facets were LOC).
