- Recent Avalanches, Cracking, Poor Snowpack Structure
We observed widespread cracking, avalanching and slope slumping (slopes which attempted to naturally avalanche but were not steep enough to slide) in and around Raymond Glade and Paradise Gully. Areas with greatest slab connectivity were areas nearest ridges with a degree of wind loading. We only saw avalanches up to 20 cm deep but slides were up to 300' wide (Paradise Gully) and able to be remotely triggered.
Snowpack
- Instability Comment
- <p>Storm snow came in upside down and on top of near surface facets above the rime crust. Highly reactive today with widespread cracking and avalanching. Bigger and more connected avalanches will happen with more snow and a more connected slab.</p> <p>Wind transport and high elevations was moderate</p>
