Comments
Out for a ski tour today in the Alta periphery. Spoke with the party that triggered this avalanche, they said it was the third skier's fifth turn. The avalanche, as is pictured, was triggered remotely from the ski tracks lookers left. I'd call it D1.5.
I dug on NE at 10000 near Lake Cathrine: ECTP23 failing on the weak grains formed prior to this storm. Hand pits on south facing terrain proved less consistent, some featuing sun crusts, some without.
Excellent time to ski low angle terrain, and continue assessing solar slopes.
