Name: Zach Guy
Zone: Southeast Mountains
Location: Snodgrass TH
Avalanches: See photos. Continued large wet activity. Numerous D1.5 to D2.5 since yesterday’s visit to the same location at 4 p.m. Some may have run late yesterday, most likely ran today. In shallower terrain, there were more wet loose gouging to the ground and a few pulled out narrow wet slabs. Otherwise, more surface sluffs.
Weather: Mix of sun and clouds may have kept surfaces a bit cooler. Warm temps, calm winds below treeline.
Snowpack: Poor refreeze. Ski and boot pen was to the ground this afternoon on below treeline slopes.
