Emigrant Gulch Pit and Natural Avalanche Obs
Date
Activity
Skiing
Toured up to Emigrant Gulch Bowls. Saw a pretty big natural avalanche on a NE facing slope. Saw the crown, it looked deep, and the debris was in large chunks and carried large trees down to the bottom. Our guess is wet-slide stepping down to deep slab on the weak layer at the bottom of the snowpack. We saw another decent natural on an adjacent slope with a similar aspect and many old wet-slides from last week on various aspects surrounding the Emigrant Gulch uptrack.
