Darren is examining the deepest part of the crown (a solid meter deep here).... A 1F hard wind slab failed on facets above the 12-12-2010 rain-crust...

Here is the Theodolite read-out looking down slope from the crown.....

Darren is using the avalanche as a fairly safe route to the ridge. There is not any unstable snow left on this route...

Comments

Same general area as a slide last year.

These UAC Logo BD Drifts are 176 cm, a little taller than the crown.
