APEX Avalanche Report

Definitely one of those days that we are happy to be alive. Refer to the sections for more information but we would Apex main and all aspects around it to CONSIDERABLE (E-W) and HIGH (NW-NE). PLEASE make conservative decisions while this wind continues and the new snow heals. I would advise against going out for the next few days.

Class 2.5-3 avalanche. This avalanche was remotely triggered by multiple class 2 avalanches that were remotely triggered by 3 sledders. The class 2.5-3 avalanche ran full length and took out many old-growth trees on the way down. 2 skiers (including myself) were transitioning in a safe area. Due to the strength of this avalanche, the skiers were close to being buried in the runout (5-10m). All large avalanches were being triggered on lee aspects (N-NE) but slabs were also running in all aspects. EXTREME caution is advised for Sunday.

Adding on to the other MIN report. 3 sledders remotely triggered multiple avalanches on the N-NE aspects in Powder Bowl. From our observation, 1 sledder had his airbag deployed and one sled was partially buried. We did not see these sledders when the slide happened but we're in the area (refer to avalanche section).
