Comments:
A couple intentionally skier-triggered avalanches on North at 3800'. ASc-SS-R1-D1.5 and ASc-SS-R1-D2. The latter entrained soft snow in a terrain trap and ran several hundred feet. Both likely ran on the most recent (1/14) crust and associated weak snow (facets or surface hoar).
None reported
We're going to have some weak snow under this week's storms for quite a while.
