Heavy Day in Crowfoot

Snowfall continued throughout the day in the glades with light winds. New snow amounted to 10-15 cm on previous unconsolidated powder. Terrain of choice today included trees and slopes <25° Avalanches were heard releasing in the distance throughout the day. A quick & dirty pit on a North aspect at treeline showed reactivity of 2 storm snow layers in the easy range. Deeper layers were reactive in the hard range.

Heard upwards of 6 avalanches release from noon onwards to 4pm. 3 of these sounded significant in comparison to the other ones.
