Noted this avalanche that looks like it ran during the the last storm pulse. It was hard to see details but it ran at lower elevation in sheltered terrain. NE Aspect around 8500'.
Comments
Conditions out of Soapstone where good. Fresh blower pow in sheltered terrain, more exposed area where worked by yesterday's strong winds.
Weather was off and on flurries. In mid elevation sheltered terrain winds were light. It was humid cold out.
The new snow is slabbing up nicely which keeps you out of the weak facets underneath, but I suspect will also lead to more connectivity with avalanches.
