Avalanche: Turnagain
Location: Seattle Ridge
Afternoon ride up to the Seattle Ridge weather station (continuing to trouble shoot the camera data feed issues).
Avalanche Details
Several wet loose avalanches on the Seattle Ridge road side (SE facing slope). Initiated around 2,000-2,400' and ran to around 1,500' or so. One occurred today and the others either today or yesterday.
Observer Comments
Solar warming. On southerly slopes out of the wind the surface was wet in the late afternoon.
Weather
Sunny with a steady NW breeze in the 5-15mph range.
Temps near 30F at 2,500' and near 40F in the parking lot.
Snow surface
Crusty... except in the late afternoon where the sun was able to soften the crust out of the breezy NW winds.
Many slopes never heated up enough to melt the surface crusts.
Even on north aspects, a thin crust over old soft settled powder exists, at least to the 2,500' in elevation (but I'm suspect this crust exists higher on the northerlies).
Looks and feels quite like springtime!
Snowpack
No snow pits dug today. Other than the wet snow avalanche issues, we did not see any signs of dry snow or slab avalanche issues.

And one more wet loose avalanche on the same face as the others
Wet loose on Magnum's west face (occurred yesterday, March 25th)
Wet loose on Lipps west face (also from yesterday, March 25th)
A crust exists on all aspects. This is a northerly aspect at 2,500' above 1st Bowl (Main Bowl).
