Date of Observation: 05/12/2023
Name: Zach Guy
Zone: Northwest Mountains
Route Description: Mt. Axtell 4th Bowl
Observed avalanche activity: Yes
Avalanches: A recent-looking large wet slab in Evan’s Basin. I’m guessing it ran sometime in the past few days.
Weather: Partly cloudy skies. Light northeast winds.
Snowpack: Less than 1″ of new snow above 10k, with isolated drifts up to 5″ from northeasterly winds ATL. Marginal refreeze due to last night’s cloud cover and insulating new snow, but the snow surface remained supportive under skis with good corn-like skiing through 9:30 a.m on northeast aspects. No signs of instability this morning.
