There were many natural avalanches that I observed today. The photo is from the Whitney area near Moffit Peak. Double Hill had some natural activity that had already started to fill in from the gusty winds and it was pretty evident from the vegetation that was showing. I also noticed Yamaha Hill had an avalanche that I could see from the highway.
This small slope near Beaver Lake had avalanched from a large chunk of cornice that broke off and triggered part of the slope.
As I stepped off the sled at this spot I sunk to my waist and dug down to find the old snow surface that is now buried with heavy dense snow. Many large collapses and shooting cracks were common today.
Strong winds moving lots of snow today.
The riding conditions are getting better, but still some bushes and hazards that need more snow to cover up.
