Does anyone know where the size 2 avalanche took place? Was that White Queen? Sure glad the two folks who went for a ride are okay. Scary.

It took place on Scobs Knob and just into Goat Slide on the 25th of December. Be careful out there!

Skied Goat Slide Dec 26th... a quick dig in steep terrain just below ridge crest gave CTE5 down 40cm on the hoar interface. Got a big propogation stepping away from the pit and we backed off to more mellow terrain.

The snow/ski quality on the lower angle slopes was infinitely better ;)

Up at the pass today... definitely a shallow snow year and there's tons of tracks in all the popular places. Need a reset button and some major dumps!
