Comments
Went out to shoot some (hopefully) educational video and poke around in an area I expected shallower snow. Was surprised to find deeper snow and decent turns in the trees. Basal facets are the largest/most well developed i've seen in the Wasatch this year (pic below). With the current weather forecast, it seems probable that the most, if not all, of the pack will facet to some degree over the next week or so. Hoping for a big storm so the avalanche problem is obvious, not hidden... Happy New Year?!!?
