February 2, 2005, Alpental

Creamy up top, "Alpentsnot" down low. Snowing heavily as I left at 3:45. The snow is very sensitive, with an "upside down" setup. I triggered a ~6-10 inch 30-40 ft wide softish slab in bounds.<br><br>-Matt

I am new to the page....very cool.Great resource for accurate conditions. Anyways, I am considering going up to Alpy tomorrow and was wondering if it would be worth my while......

It looks like it should be okay tomorrow, probably worth going up there. Where rain gear though. I was up there today as well and had a similar experience with starting a couple small slabs on steep terrain. I was really impressed today by the amount of blasting they were doing. A couple of the blasts set off car alarms in the parking lot
