I was working out of Callaghan Backcountry Lodge
from the 16th to 19th. Lots of snow (77cm) accumulating throughout
the week. At the lodge (4500') there was an HS of 325cm yesterday and at
the 5200' study plot it is 4m. FP is about 1m everywhere. On the
night of the 18/19 we received 35cm of light powder. The result was
wide spread natural avalanching mid storm on only the new snow - all the
usual indicator slopes fell. Yesterday's clear weather got us
into the Alpine - ski cutting produced no results. Rated the Hazard as
Considerable by yesterday afternoon. Excellent skiing
quality.
