Comments
We skied Wolverine Bowl and Lower Wolverine Chutes. As we ventured to steeper shots in the Lower Chutes, on our 2nd run, the 2nd skier triggered what I believe to be a wind slab/storm snow avalanche. Skier was able to ski out without incident, the slab ran down hill another 200 feet or so.
There was quite a bit more snow that we had expected. We measured a few spots and each was +12”, all above 10,000 feet.
