Buried Surface Hoar Lionhead

Buried Surface Hoar Lionhead

Buried surface hoar was found on most slopes about 8 inches deep. With such a thin slab on top, it will not produce an avalanche on most slopes, BUT 2 recently reported avalanches on this layer mean it may surprise us with a few more. Photo: GNFAC
