Report Information
Observation Summary
Saw several slides on E/NE aspects, including one above Jones pass trailhead. Many recently loaded aspects from NE to SE. There were signs of a significant avalanche cycle in this area during the last storm cycle. The bed surface of a natural slide, likely from the day before provided a relatively consistent ski line.
Overall travel above TL in this area proved to be more complex than anticipated and appeared to be growing more complex with significant snow transport taking place at higher elevations.
