Avalanche: Skyline

There were too many smaller avalanches from North to South East, from wedding ring, phone shot, Spring creek, staker chutes to document. Some of these were moderate in size and distance down hill. These resulted from the winds that went from the South to the North during the wind event wed. and thurs. The slopes were heavely cross loaded and cornices built up to the biggest degree this year. Looking up to the head of the South Fork of lake creek almost that whole East facing bowl into the South East slopes slid. What has not slid is heavely cross loaded, the resulting slab will allow the snowmobiles to access these steeper slopes. I have not see this amount of cross loading on the skyline. the avalaches were both from cornice releases and loading of snow on the steep slopes below the cornices. Darce will have pictures of the avalanches close to the road in his report
