The Crew from the Canada/New Zealand
Semester and I spent the last 3 days in the Healy Creek area (Jan 8-10). We
skied in before the storm and noticed a large natural size 2 avalanche that
had run well into the trees of the second major slide path.
During our stay we measured 50 cm of storm
snow, moderate to strong winds at tree line and heard numerous natural
avalanches through out the storm. This new snow brought the total snow depth to
close to 2 meters at tree line...not bad for this area at this time of year. We
saw boot top to knee deep trail breaking in lots of wind effected snow. On our
ski out today we avoided the two major slide paths by going lower than the
regular summer trail.
Be careful in the next few
days!
