Collapsing at Fawn Pass
From obs: "We had multiple collapses during our ski, and one 40’x40’ slope had a large collapse on the trip up and again on the way down. I noticed one meadow that had collapsed before we were out, and the new snow had sheared off of several downed logs."
Fawn pass
I skied up toward fawn pass today, and had a few notable observations. We had multiple collapses during our ski, and one 40’x40’ slope had a large collapse on the trip up and again on the way down. I noticed one meadow that had collapsed before we were out, and the new snow had sheared off of several downed logs. Most notably, my tracks from a month ago were easy to follow in a few places.
