Avalanche: Turnagain
Location: Tincan Trees
Quick lap to the treeline to see the recent storm snow and be on skis.
Avalanche Details
We saw numerous dry loose avalanches on several aspects on the drive down from the pass with the improved visibility. No slab avalanches at that time.
Observer Comments
There were no cohesion in the new snow layers at the time we were traveling and we did not observe any collapsing or cracking.
Weather
Sky cover: overcast and low cloud ceiling at 11am; by 12noon skies were barely broken and cloud ceiling lifted so that we could see the surrounding ridge lines. Back at the car at 1pm with scattered cloud cover with beautiful light.
Temps: Kept cool, not going above freezing even at road level.
Precipitation: S1 at 11am, S<1 at 11:30am. Precipitation stopped by noon.
Wind: Calm most of the time, light at treeline when we started skiing down.
By the time we were driving down the pass, high winds at ridge lines. We could see significant wind plumes off Pyramid.
Snow surface
Dry new snow. ~15 cm at the meadows, maybe ~20cm at treeline.
No warming of the surface snow at all.
Snowpack
Nice to see a "full" snowpack after pretty much two storms.
We did not dig a pit or do stability tests.
Nice to find winter snowpack at treeline and surprise views to the ridge lines. There was up to 20cm of new snow covering yesterday's skin track.
Cool to experience the passing of the storm through the pass with remnants at the arm. Two storms have done a nice number on the alders.
On the way out the visibility was quite good and we could observe dry loose avalanches on several aspects as seen here at the lower ridge of Todd's Bowl.
