Date of Observation: 02/13/2022
Name: Evan Ross
Zone: Southeast Mountains
Route Description: 9,000ft-11,500ft. NW-N-E
Observed avalanche activity: No
Avalanches: Small loose dry avalanches on steep slopes near 40 degrees. Mostly northerly facing, and 1 east facing slope around 11,400ft.
Weather: Clear, warm, calm.
Snowpack: Small sluffs were the main thing we ran into on steep slopes, near 40 degrees. We didn’t encounter a persistent slab avalanche problem on the ridge between Wolverine and Redwell basin up to 11,500ft in elevation. Where we skied off the east side of the ridge just below 11,500 we triggered small sluffs. There could have been a couple isolated pockets with a slab avalanche problem in that area that were slightly higher up. Didn’t see much for loading in the alpine.
