Heads UP if climbing or skiing in Jasper!
Thursday May 21, 2009: Noted a Size 2.5 (possibly 3) in the North bowl of
Indian Ridge (west of the Whistlers) that likely came out yesterday some
time. Crown is probably 50 or 60 cm deep with a crown that extends through
an open bowl and into rocky terrain several hundred meters wide. This is
likely all the new snow from the last three days.
Beacons on, shovel and probe back in the pack, eyes wide open... Avaluator
at the ready! It is back to winter for the time being.
