Watch out for avalanches. That no base you talk about is what is called an upside down snowpack in the avalanche world. Slab on top with lose unstable snow under. We are entering a critical time for avalanches over the next week or so as things start to warm up. Everyone is hyped to get out but this is a time to be real careful.

Yes it is avy time everywhere. We punched through 4 feet of snow, then hit a 4 inch crust, busted through that and hit solid ice. Very scary but we were not highmarking that day... Pictures are working now and are linked to my photobucket account. Gonna head out sun or monday again, will post more pics... Happy Holidays snow and mud.
