Problem #1 Comments
Still remains a slight possibility to trigger an avalanche where hardslabs overly buried NSF from Jan 7th evidenced by Propagation Saw Tests showing positive propagation propensity with cut lengths less than 50cm. See pit graph below. That said, my biggest risk today was stumbling upon a couple of moose as soon as I popped out of the woods and onto the ridge.
