Date of Observation: 03/27/2021
Name: Evan Ross and Zach Guy
Zone: Northwest Mountains
Location: Ruby Range
Avalanches: See photos and captions. A handful of slab avalanches, D1 to D2 that ran in the last day or two. These appeared to generally involve just the new and windblown snow from the past few days, or wet sluffs today. One on the NE face of OBJ was thick enough it might have broken into older layers, although it was too far away to say anything with confidence.
