Recent Avalanches

Rapid Warming

Poor Snowpack Structure

As reported from the Wolverine Cirque, it is still possible to trigger (even remotely) large dangerous avalanches; yet these locations appear to be Isolated to the certain Upper Elevation locations that have a cohesive slab that had a contributing factor of Wind Loading from the recent event. That being said, many steep lines have been ridden without consequences, and irregardless, the Widespread Poor Snowpack Structure can be found on almost all aspects and elevations. The tricky part is with these latest warm temperatures the overlying Slab is becoming less sensitive, more stubborn and less reactive; and subsequently one may find themselves well down a slope before the possibility of triggering it becomes a reality.
