Date of Observation: 12/11/2022
Name: Ian Havlick
Zone: Northwest Mountains
Route Description: Up from Gunsight bridge to upper Wolverine Basin.
Observed avalanche activity: Yes
Avalanches: Pretty much a war zone starting from
Climax chutes all the way to top with lots of little steep convex features having failed since the snow stopped 3 days ago. Lots of road cuts and larger features- anything over 35 degrees highly suspect
Weather: Clear, calm, cold
Snowpack: Snowpack structure similar to other observations submitted, F>1F slab resting on 20cm of large grained depth hoar. Most notable observation was widely distributed 4-6mm surface hoar on aspects traveled (N-NE-E) from 9000-11000ft. Will be worth watching with incoming snow tonight.
