Whitney Basin-Moffit Peak
Comments
A decent debris pile from an older natural avalanche on Moffit Peak.
Steady northwest winds the last 12 hrs created fresh wind slabs on east and southeast facing slopes. These were sitting on a buried slick melt freeze crust and were a little reactive this morning, but should have settled out during the day.
Took a photo of the Double Hill avalanche that happened this weekend from Moffit Peak. Easy to see how this slope gets heavily wind loaded from west and southwest winds.
