Avalanche: Turnagain
Location: Tincan
Skinned the normal up track from the bottom of Tincan to the top of Common Bowl with the goal of finding some left over fresh snow that was not totally hammered by the recent winds.
As we got above treeline, the south facing aspect of tin can was totally hammered by wind. We skied skiers center/right of common bowl that managed to hold decent snow with a few punchy wind effected spots. We found good light snow below treeline as well.
Avalanche Details
We noticed a long series of crowns on the leeward side of the far Hippy Bowl ridge.
