Comments
Spent the last few days @ 9800 feet in the Uintas near boundary creek and found significant potential to trigger an avalanche that fails at the ground. Observed 2 slides that had broken at the ground earlier in the week which appeared to be from natural triggers with rapid snow loading. Dug 4 pits today that all showed the same thing with aspect varying from 360° to 220°. All tests were ECT15 or less with near perfect shear and propagation. Stay away from open terrain @ or above treeline for the time being.
