Comments
Party of 4. Most sensitivity was above 9000ft on Days Draw today. Three storm slabs were triggered by skiers. One on the northern ridge, which was the biggest at 40ft wide that ran about 300ft that was 8-10" deep. The other two were in the main fall line that were smaller at around 9500ft. These were around 15ft wide, 8-10" deep, and ran about 50-100ft. The new storm snow broke on a sugary faceted layer in all three breaks. No one was injured. No one was buried or taken down with the slabs either.
