Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center

It was raining 500 feet below our pit location. Stability decreased as you dropped in elevation.

SH has gotten stronger quickly.

Well developed depth hoar near the ground wasn't reactive. However, with a big load 1-2" of SWE, avalanches are still possible on this layer.

Triggered small cornice and wind slab (8'x20'x8") on high point.

I would not have skied the steepest part of this slope.
