Squeezed in an Evolution Valley ski tour in the High Sierra. Snow depth in high elevation basins and valleys was incredible but coverage on steep slopes wasn’t as fat, perhaps b/c of colder winter and fewer warmer storms.

After an incredible winter full of shoveling and more shoveling, it’s wonderful to get out and enjoy spring in the mountains.

Fun tour on Angora Peak before the srain came. Totally different conditions as we changed aspects. The spring corn season should be amazing this year. Thanks to my buddy AC for the shots.

10-20 cm of recent snow and strong northeasterly winds have formed fresh wind slabs on lee aspects at treeline and above.Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind affected terrain.

Watch for changing conditions and signs of slab formation as storm snow accumulates throughout the day. Be especially cautious in wind-loaded lee areas where deeper pockets exist.

Continually assess for wind slabs as you move through the terrain. Small pockets of wind slab have been reactive to skier traffic and natural triggers.

Just a casual stroll and slide Sunday up in the mountains somewhere.

The sun packs a punch this time of year, even brief periods of strong solar input could increase the reactivity of wind slabs. Reduce your exposure to avalanche terrain and overhead hazard during sunny periods.
