Date of Observation: 03/22/2022
Name: Whit Gilliam
Zone: Southeast Mountains
Route Description: Went up to ski N Teo, but the wind was crazy! Opted to stay lower on the South face and drop in. Picked a line above some small cliffs to sneak through to the lower main S face. I made one test turn on the edge of the slope we planned to ski and the whole face cracked all the way up! Slab was about 6″ thick, but hard to tell for sure, we didn’t hang around to check. Let’s just say we confirmed the forecasted wind slab on S faces! Thankful for this outcome!!!!!!
Observed avalanche activity: Yes
Avalanches: Wind slab, S, ~12,900ft, didn’t run
Weather: Windy as heck
