Comments
4 inches of new snow didn't bond well with
the surface of the old snow. Triggered multiple sluffs on my way down non-significant size and slow-moving but the powder is gone already with the warming temps. Still holding up good in the shaded tree areas though.
Comments
There were plenty of similar skier/rider triggered wet sluffs at upper elevation in the Bear River Range on 5/24/2020.
