Quick report

Survey of the Swan front from Condon Mountain to Ptarmigan Benchmark. 

  • Saw several large D2-D2.5 natural slab avalanches that likely failed in the last 2 days.
  • At least one of these appears to be to have been a wet slab.
  • All slopes and elevations were littered with recent small to large wet loose activity.

Lighting was variable and several potential crowns were just beyond the limits of my magnification.

Handful of D2-3 slab avalanches that look to have run in the last two days. At least one of these appears to be a wet slab. Plenty of point realeases on all slopes.
