Comments
Travel was up USA Bowl, Scott’s Bluff, No Name, with a sum what diminished view of the Monitors. Was thinking that everything had to have avalanched but was surprised when we got to No Name and saw no activity, and could not provoke any, but the wind was not getting to it’s protected slopes. We did trigger two avalanches on Scott’s which was much more wind affected and loaded, which I put on the avalanche page. The snow was inverted in all the terrain covered but almost more so in wind sheltered terrain. I’m not gonna trust any steep slopes for a bit, too much wind, too much snow, and suspect structure in most areas.
