Mar 8, 2022 (FC)Comments:
Observed a number of recent D1.5-D2 wet slab avalanches beneath a corniced ridgeline on ENE aspects in Whitepine Cirque. Unknown date of occurrence, but estimating March 27th. These slides were not there on the 24th, so occurred sometime after that. Uncertain, but guessing these failed on the 3/8 weak layer over the early March crust.
