Observation: Turnagain
Location: Turnagain Pass Road Obs
Drove through Turnagain Pass to see if there’s been any new natural activity over the last two days with warm temps and rainy/overcast conditions. A few new natural wet loose slides were seen on Magnum’s West face. These all occurred below rock/cliff features in a very thin part of the snowpack. There were three glide releases in Lynx Creek, but all looked older, happened within the last week. There were some small wet loose activity on all aspects including North, but pretty small and similar to what was observed on Monday.
Obvious signs of instability

Spoke with a person who skied Sunburst who confirmed a supportable crust formed overnight with partly clear skies. He also reported corn snow at 2:30pm on South aspects and a hard supportable crust on Northern slopes in the alpine elevations. Lower elevations were still wet and mushy.
Magnum W face with wet loose activity in the last 24-48hours. These were the largest wet loose avalanche observed today.
