Avalanche viewership from last weekend’s cycle was the name of the game in the greater Windy ecosystem yesterday. Countless avalanches could be observed, some occurring so early in the cycle that they were almost impossible to make out, much less photograph. Attached, however are several more obvious avalanches that occurred later. This area, unlike many others in the range, has a connected weak layer sitting about 45cm off the ground - and grassy enough terrain to leave this layer uninterrupted.
Snowpack
Last weekend’s storm must have come in with some rain or rime, as tracks from after the 30th but before the 6th can be seen etched into this crust, with wind having worked much of the observed area between the 6th and today.
