Date of Observation: 03/25/2023
Name: Zach Guy
Zone: South of forecast area
Route Description: Rec tour, Spring Creek area. SE to NE aspects BTL
Observed avalanche activity: Yes
Avalanches: A recent persistent slab on a west facing slope BTL.
Weather: Mostly cloudy, very light snow. Unseasonably cold. Moderate winds in exposed terrain.
Snowpack: Snowdepth was around 100 to 130 cm. We got a couple of large collapses that appeared to fail mid pack, below about 60 cm of slab-forming snow that has fallen in March. The weak layer was facets (F) with one or multiple crusts above. These were on low angle southeast slopes; more representative of what I would expect to find on steep east.
