Notes

A skier noticed multiple collapses at History Rock, and snapped a photo of active wind loading at higher elevations in Hyalite. From the email: " Roughly 30cm new snow from the last storm, light winds, although Blackmore (pictured) and Flanders appeared to be getting hammered by the wind. Did a few laps in the top meadow and was getting frequent collapsing on the way back up. One felt like a small earthquake and was the loudest wumpf I've ever heard." Photo: M. Lavery
