Bear Basin

There was a foot of new snow adding stress to the facets near the ground.  This was on an east facing slope off the ridgeline.  I did not get propagation in all my pits on this aspect, but did here.  Eric triggered an avalanche two days ago a few hundred yards up the ridge on this aspect.  As long as the buried facets continue to propagate, I'll be cautious.  We did not ski the slope.  Photo: GNFAC
