So sad. I hadn’t seen this on the NWAC site.
It has been quite an active week in the region with all the recent snow. Two avalanches resulting in burials were reported inbounds on Blackcomb yesterday: one off Chainsaw Ridge and another in Sapphire Bowl. I’m honestly shocked they even opened the alpine considering how windy it was this weekend. The winds were absolutely howling in the Baker backcountry on Saturday with lots of new wind slabs forming.
Lots of flagging on Ptarmigan Ridge
