Comments
Looked and felt like winter today, nice to be out. Felt multiple collapses in the northerly facing terrain. I think the avalanche danger is pockety and confined to upper elevation north facing terrain where there is old snow from the storm a few weeks ago.
These avalanche's might not bury you, but they have the potential to drag you over the shallow rocks and stumps.
