Rumble Creek

Back to the basics:  walked and snowshoed in to get a closer look at the debris from a very large avalanche near Condon.  

• This avalanche was reported in a 1/29 obs.  The crown spanned the entire SW aspect of a mountain and likely failed on weak snow above a December crust.
• Wet snow in the path of this avalanche was gouged to the ground.
• Despite the expansive crown, debris stopped abruptly mid-path upon reaching the creek.  This was well short of the historic path.
• Much of the Swan front has bared off to roughly 6000' on W, S, and SW. 
• The snow we did encounter was wet from top to bottom. We post-holed full depth in snowshoes. 

Wet snow to the ground.  50cm at its deepest at 6400'.
