coldiron Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Heading up to Snoq. Pass tomorrow to climb The Tooth (NE Slab), and make a few powder turns. If anybody is up there today, can you tell me if the new snowfall is settling out a bit? Also, does that route slough snow pretty quickly? If that's not a good route to hit right after a big snow, suggestions for something better? Thanks, Scott Quote

sprocket Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 One was at Alpental so it is probably pretty sketch out there. Quote
DPS Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) It has been dumping pretty much non stop all week. Can't imagine it would be anything but nasty out there. Edited February 20, 2012 by DPS Quote
sobo Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 It was reported that the Alpental fatality was boarding OB and was swept over the cliff by the avalanche he himself triggered. Source Let's be careful out there, and know the conditions around you... Quote
