Notes

Observation from the Y-couloir on Black Mountain in the Absarokas (outside of the advisory area) 4/1/22:

"Crown was 4-6” deep, approximately 30’ across (just shy of the width of the couloir). Ran the length of the couloir (~700’). Layer that slid consisted of new, unconsolidated snow. The slide was skier-triggered, skier stayed on his feet as it ran by them. We dug a pit beforehand on a similar aspect and got ECTPN. New snow concerns matched that of the forecast for today."
