Avalanche Observation : February 05, 2010
Date:
February 4, 2010 Observation Type:
Snowpit / Stability Observation
Route:
Sagebrush/Mahogany Ocean
Weather:
light snow
Avalanche Activity:
major settlement and pronounced whoompfing occured as we were starting up a NW facing slope, so we turned back. Very shallow snowpack, and perhaps settlement was localized, but we'd not heard or felt any settlement during previous day, so we especially heeded this warning and bailed.
