Quick report

Snow was very reactive to both explosive mitigation and ski cutting at the mid and upper elevations. Cohesive slabs encouraged feature/terrain connectivity that resulted in widely propagating avalanches.

Observed a natural avalanche in the fat bastard/cowboys and Indians apron involving last night’s storm snow. Likely occured sometime overnight as the crown was starting to fill in via wind transport.
