Increasing Danger
Problem #1 Comments
The sun and warmth tomorrow will certainly increase the potential for wet avalanches.
Comments
The rime crust grew fairly thick the higher we climbed. Could serve as a future weak layer or catalyst for weak snow development above or below it.
Loud and lousy riding conditions, at least in the Logan Peak region.
