telemarker Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Does anyone think the avy danger for Saturday would be equally applicable to Aasgard Pass as it would be towards the crest? Aasgard appears to be a lot more wind scoured all winter long, and I suspect the snow depth much less than on the crest. Since there's no shortage of assholes on this site, I would suspect there would be an equal abundance of opinions on the matter. Quote
Bug Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Do you want my opinion or the facts? Well tough. You get both. Opinion; Cff is right. Fact; I have seen massive amounts of slush pour off of Asgard Pass in spring. Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Avy danger on the Eastside is minimal - Tiger Mountain should be clear! Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 I remember watching a big slush avalanche rage down asgaard last time I was there. Whether conditions are similar to that day right now I'm not sure, but it certainly happens, and with enough force to be pretty damaging. It actually rolled off the south shoulder of dragontail and turned down the pass towards the lake. Quote
