We rode Coulees Friday. Chilly but a good day. Wind slabs in some areas especially on ridges and peaks. Averaged about a foot of fresh in most areas.

Looks like same place that slid on us 2 weeks ago or else same one.

Thats slide was from someone prior to us. It may have been same area. Basically at the top of the drainage area on the left side. We passed it and dropped down over the right. Conditions were good there. Just two of us all day.

Any details from the bone creek incident? The 2 inch feathers from Jan 18th are gonna cause issues.

Yikes!
That will lay down and slide at -2 to +2°C crossing the freeze point.

The pic of the slide was one guy we know turning out just a little into what we just said would not be stable. Turned out to wide from the trees but not much really, was a fairly slow runout.
Was a 25-30° slope.
