Comments
From the March 4, 2004 UAC Avalanche Forecast:
There was an extremely close call in Daley Canyon yesterday. Bruce was looking at the site of last week’s fatality when he noticed a very recent avalanche, complete with tracks leading into it and a burial hole. The slide was on a northerly facing, 41 degree slope, at 7600’. It was 120’ wide, up to 3’ deep, and failed on the January dry spell facets that were capped by a thin crust.
