Hunters Deep Dish DelIght.

brad, Saturday 8th February, 2025 10:38PM
<p>This was a very eventful AST 1 course in Hunters Range. We saw a lot of things changing throughout the day that made us choose terrain wisely. We felt like we were trying to adapt to the changing conditions on the fly. Avalanche conditions reported Con, Mod, Mod, but with heavy amounts of snow and significant wind transport we learned that we may need to approach some areas with a little more caution. We saw cracking on a gentle role in a heavily wind affected area, we saw a slab Sz. 1 and got a third part report from another group that they had just witnessed a large size 2 or 3 slide just past the Gordon Sidney cabin. Snow pit findings: HS 300cm New in the last 24-48 hours 75cm very low density. Collapsing CTE on Jan 11 interface. Time to tame it down out there with blue bird days on the way it may be hard to stay away from larger ready to slide slopes. </p>
