Snow doesn't like rapid change and that was glaringly apparent as todays storm settled in and lit up the eastern front, rapidly stacking up 10" of snow in a matter of a couple hours (17" storm totals since 17:00 hrs 3-22)

Snowfall reaching nearly 5" an hour produced very tender shallow soft slabs which went from ridiculously easy to initiate, to hair trigger in just a matter of minutes as winds bumped just a titch... into the teens and low 20's. These were generally benign and very predictable avy's. This was not only a special day to be out and about with a super solid crew, it was truly an amazing meteorological event to witness!

Over-the-hood and over-the-head.... avy-savvy, snow-pros Dave Kikkert and Andy Nassetta implementing some throttle therapy whilst product testing in a big open meadow.
