Grizzly Couloir
Glacier,
5 days ago
Observation
Skied grizzly couloir today in windy, cold temps. Snow conditions were poor: the couloir and the slopes below it were variable snow with a hard wind slab ~10cm thick that you'd sink through on every other turn (mostly survival skiing, wouldn't recommend doing this line at the moment !).

McGill Ski triggered slab
Glacier,
1 week ago
Observation
Triggering: A combination of rapid warming of the top layer, a very reactive weak layer, a small convex terrain feature (at the top of the slope) and the weight of a skier. The skier did a right turn when the avalanche was triggered and avoided the avalanche.
