Comments
Triggered two storm/wind slabs in Santaquin today, one a fairly decent sized remotely triggered slide. Snow was light and it had no force with it but will probalby form a nice slab over the next couple of days. Something to be aware of; if you are out hunting ice this late most of the climbs in Santaquin are directly below large slide paths that will most likely rip sometime soon. Plenty of snowmobiling terrain under avy paths down there too.
