Yeah, I had a great short tour yesterday at the end of#2 Canyon and would have loved to head back today but the freezing rain has done it's damage.

A few years back, a guy was partially buried when he triggered and avalanche while skiing in our shrub-steppe foothills in Wenatchee. The ground cover was bunch grass and balsam root remnants.

Which aspect were you skiing?

Sweet, Brian is a great guy.
Good pic of incident here-

Do we know the folks in the party of snowmobilers?
Has that area been officially classified as non-motorized now? That's great if so but bad if the sleds are still getting in there.
The fully catered/hosted trip is really a bargain.That moraine in the background of the first pic is called "Cow's Face". The last few pics are just above and in what they call "Ho...

Jaime,is this the slope that didn't slide and had tracks?
Looks like you were right above Clara in a couple of those pics.Your findings are addressed in the NWAC forecast for Sunday from Saturday evening-

Be careful back there, the terrain is pretty complex. If you were planning to traverse the north side of the knob from the spot where your photo was taken you will cross under a few avalanche paths th...
Uh, that spot almost always looks like that, even in great winters. Is that the slope you were thinking of skiing? I assume you made your approach on the xc trail.
Maybe is was snow compaction for avalanche mitigation? :D
Nice, but I was expecting some Skynrd.
Happy Birthday Mike, sorry I missed you guys. Beautiful day up there. Was that the big gully past the last tree on the way to the towers?
Interesting. You can see Sloan from the top of Sage Hills preserve in Wenatchee when it's clear.
Interesting, he sent me a pm asking me to stop posting and said that the plan had been to cut the lock, hence the carrying of bolt cutters. The naivete of posters and people in general is astounding.a...
