Comments
While skinning up to mount Tuscarora we noticed the east facing snow face had entirely slid in an Avalanche Cycle of wet slides. By just pole whacking the ridge it kicked off a snowball that turned into a 30' wide slow moving slide. It was very active around 1:15 with the warming. We skied north facing snow off Patsy's and it was firm but stable. The slides appeared isolated but volatile as no slabs were present anywhere.
