Blackmore recent slides

Blackmore recent slides

Skiing

Snow has weak layers from recent storm and old facets. Dug a quick pit and found what’s been going on all season. 

Two distinct slides-

1. Off the top on the face of Blackmore- Talked to the guy that set this slide off, it was triggered while he was skiing down yesterday morning from the summit. Ran all the way down to almost the skin track. 

2. A much bigger one on lookers left of Blackmore peak, naturally occurring as there were no tracks near it.  Looked like a bigger crown. Talking to the guy who triggered the slide yesterday he stated this one wasn’t there yesterday. 

Lots of wind when I was up there this morning skiing the shoulder, could see loading happening throughout the range. Sun came out and warmed everything up. 46 degrees at Hyalite parking lot when I got back to my car just before 1:00pm. Saw roller balls driving back down on the road on the steep hillsides. 

Thanks for all you do!
