I had a failed attempt on Capitol yesterday. Every aspect and elevation was avalanching. Some were running to the ground. There wasn't a hard freeze at tree line overnight. Some loaded north aspects above 13k' were holding large winter-like slabs. It wasn't until we were above 12,500' that we observed a hard freeze but the snow was mostly unconsolidated there. The weather forecast appears to perpetuate these conditions for the next week or so. |
