Snowmobiling

Saw a number of slides today, as to be expected. All the large ones I noticed were north facing. Also, the dirty snow was so odd to see mid winter. It was brown all over the sled zone.


 N face of crown butte, looks like it slid before the dirt event (we think the end of the storm yesterday/ or last night must have been dirty snow?). It was extremely deep and terrible vis yesterday, but blower snow. Not the case today with how warm it got.


This is the N side of scotch bonnet, looks like a big break, didn’t get any closer than this however.

Also saw some decent sized slides on the N side of Henderson, but was too far away to get photos.


Just a little wind load cornice break, but it broke while I was coming down that track to the right.
