Comments
Obsevation called in to UAC office:
Skiers stomping around on ridge were able to release very deep avalanche in Daly Bowl. Reported as running into the bottom of the bowl.
Forecaster Note: This area is notorious for wind loading in south flow storm events. It is not uncommon to see very large fracture lines here due to lots of snow transport.
