Spring is here

Skied amazing powder on Sunday March 25. 30+ cm of fresh snow. No signs of instability on Sunday. Monday morning woke up to 7cm of fresh snow, temperature was +2°C at 1800. Ventured up to the ski area and saw that a natural size 2.5 had released less than 12 hours ago. Snow quality on Monday was heavy and wet. Decided to head home.

Natural release wet slab avalanche on SW aspect. Couldn’t see the crown due to cloud cover, but we suspect it released from an alpine start zone. Avalanche debris was 1-2m deep, spread out over 50+m. Debris went across and over a natural deep gully feature.
