Avalanche: Summit
Location: Templeton (AKA Creator) and Tenderfoot Ridge SW mid elevation and S facing gullies upper elevation.
Large Natural Avalanches with wide propagation from mid to upper elevations of Templeton SW aspect, and 3 avalanches on South and Southwest aspect of Tenderfoot. Lowest is human triggered, the other two are likely natural Slabs from 3000'. 70-300' wide. One next to Alder Patch on first pitch 2nd and 3rd out of gullies further east. The avalanche happened Friday estimated. It was foggy that day so I could not confirm that area had avalanched but it did cause me to look at it for a while. Saturday it was clearly visible. Tracks heading right into it….hard to see tracks below because of drifting and trees.
Avalanche Details
Natural avalanches Slab (2-4' deep estimate). Wide propagation.
Templeton AKA Creator West Aspect Both are approximately 1000-1500' wide and propagated across large areas to the boundary of Brush/Trees. Fracture line was from mid elevation to near the top of slope.
Tenderfoot Ridge (3 Avalanches on SW Mid slope near alder patch and 2 from top of first two south facing gullies)
2-4' Deep, Mid slope 75 feet wide, other two in the gullies were 300-500'wide estimated.
See Pictures below.
Natural avalanches were seen at MP 41 slide path in the main gully as well as mid elevation approximately 200' above alder line in addition. Also wide propagation as well. Was unable to get pictures of these due to limited area to pull off the highway and heavy traffic.
Obvious signs of instability
| Recent Avalanches? | Yes |
| Collapsing (Whumphing)? | No |
| Cracking (Shooting cracks)? | No |
Observer Comments
Large Natural Avalanches with wide propagation from mid to upper elevations.
Possible human triggered avalanche at 2600' on SW aspect of Tenderfoot.
Templeton AKA Creator (Two seperate avalanches both with very wide propagation )
Tenderfoot Ridge (SW and S Aspects and gullies...mid elevation slab near alder patch and larger avalanches from top of gullies to the east.
