This weeks Avalanche Conditions Report has BIG results!
In this week's Avalanche Conditions Report video you’ll see first hand how destructive yesterday's large size 3 avalanche on Goat Slide was, it was explosive controlled by helicopter. This persistent deep slab released on the Nov 12 melt freeze crust that has been lurking under the storm snow. This area has concerned us for a while and similar aspects and elevations should be treated with caution. We've had 1 meter of storm snow this past week with moderate to strong southerly winds, we are in the middle of an active avalanche cycle and travel in the backcountry is not recommended, read the avalanche bulletins and let this storm slab settle out a bit before tackling it. Skiing in bounds is fantastic right now!!!
