Junk show at Tuckerman’s Ravine? Rumors of mayhem and unorthodox backcountry etiquette on the slopes of Tuckerman’s Ravine on Mount Washington last Saturday, buzzed on skiing forums over that last few days. Enough so, that the popular forum based website, TimeForTuckermans.com, ended up removing a thread from a snowboarder caught in a wet-slide (one of […]
Aaron Chance calls off he rescue. The skies finally broke up here in Canada after dumping about 40cms of snow on top of surface hoar and near surface facets. Over the past few days we’ve seen snow running like water down steep slopes and have kicked off numerous soft slabs. Some running a good distance […]

The slide on Static Peak had a maximum crown height of 6-8′ and looked to have triggered another avalanche lower down on the skiers right, […]

Click photo for zoomed in view of crown area. Well it sure scares me! I know, I know…the snowpack is healing as we speak…right? I’ve been getting all the emails, reading the forum threads, and talking to all the folks on the skin track. Everyone really seems to be getting a better feeling about this […]
WYDOT avalanche technician Jamie Yount has been a busy bee over the last week or two, keeping Teton Pass open as much as possible and as safe as possible for vehicular travel. He was kind enough to give us an update on last weeks events which includes a video of an avalanche, triggered by […]
