Great day of curtains of over the head shots with nothing moving on the north - but a party on the ESE face of Mt Herman triggered a massive slide midday on the sun-warmed slopes - the 3-5 foot crown propagated about 100 yards and ran about 600+ feet on the old crust - the entire storm cycle's snowpack. Very lucky they weren't killed or seriously hurt. Exactly the thing NWAC warned about.
This was posted on splitboard.com yesterday. Scary looking.
Wow, impressive picture of Bagley! There was definitely a crust on many aspects under all that storm snow. I think I see a crown on the N face of Table as well...
Found a picture of the Table slide. While I may have skied the line that those people are skinning up yesterday, I wouldn't have skinned up it in warming temps., people dropping in from above, and big slab releases all around!!!
Man... sobering. Thanks for putting up the pictures.
