Avalanche: Turnagain
Location: Super Bowl
From Sunburst parking area up Magnum, into PMS bowl, up Super Bowl, skied several aspects in this area and then back out Magnum to the parking lot. Generally good snow conditions above ~2,500′; we found several wind exposed areas which were scoured to the ground and covered in a couple inches of recent snow. Something to watch out for.

Observer Comments
A relatively recent natural avalanche could be seen on the west face of Gold Pan
Weather
Valley clag obscured visibility up to ~2,000' in the morning. Light winds on the ridges calmed by the afternoon.
Snow surface
The rain crust and its changing character with elevation has been well reported. On top of that, we found a couple inches of recent snow which appeared to be faceting. We did not encounter wind slabs of any significance.
Snowpack
Pit at 3,500', facing west, 28 degree slope, toward the head of the super bowl area. 135cm total depth. We dug to the base of the snow pack and were surprised to find a minimal (non-existent?) layer of basal facets. Maybe a fluke pit? 1 finger from the base to 85cm, 4 finger from 85 to 110cm. Fist 110cm to the surface. ECTX.
