Показать описание
Weak layers are generally buried 2.5 feet deep across the Lionhead area. I was surprised by how sensitive these were when we dug pits to test for instability. Considering the big picture (a week straight of snowfall) and clear feedback from our snowpack assessment made avoiding avalanche terrain a no-brainer for us.

More snow in the forecast will make for great riding conditions in lower-angle terrain and dangerous avalanche conditions in steep terrain.

When i was about 6 years old i got myself caught in a mini avalanche after a massive snow storm. Behind my house was a very steep hill/mini mountain, prob a few hundred feet high. Well i wanted to sled down it. I got almost to the very top after pulling myself all the way up by grabbing tree after tree. I tripped over a down tree an when i fell i triggered an avalanche. Next thing i know im on the way down the hill. By the time i got to the bottom i was buried all the way up to my chest an could barely move. I was VERY lucky that a neighbor was outside snow blowing his driveway an seen it all happen!!

I don't think snowmobile types should check snow pack.

Well stop going on the mountain? Stop building on or around the base of mountains? Like nifty info, but totally useless to me.
