Date of Observation: 12/31/2021
Name: billy barr
Zone: Southeast Mountains
Route Description: Gothic Townsite
Observed avalanche activity: Yes
Avalanches: I was outside moving snow (but then, aren’t we all) at 8:50 and heard a noise up on Gothic and then saw- not the slide as there is no visibility- but the powder cloud coming out of the cirque just north of here. This path runs pretty large though i have no idea how it did and will not until it clears.
I ducked down under the solar panels not because i was afraid, but because, um, a, i dropped my contact lens, yes, that is why. Imagine how silly i felt when i remembered- i don’t wear contacts!?! Anyway, safe to say it’s a war out there.
For your amusement, i have attached the dumbest photo ever- a power cloud during a storm when there is little visibility anyway. Sorry. Keeps me laughing. billy
