Buck ridge, new snow and wind
Date
Activity
Snowmobiling
We rode on Buck Ridge today to do some maintenance on our RAWS station for the fire folks and check on the yellow mule cabin. Where the wind hadn't blown it away yet, there was 4" of snow from over night on top of very firm snow, likely from the last round of wind. The most sheltered areas behind trees and down in the basins still had some deeper, soft snow and better riding. We saw one small wind slab avalanche in the new snow above Beaver Creek on a north aspect.
