hope you left a little for us weekenders. Usually don't care, because it was a no brainer hike out to Disease to get some untouched...but with the screwy unpredictable snowpack. A little trigger shy to go get sum in my usual steep spots.

Re blackcomb surf's up slide 3.5m crown size 3. Lee took some shots of the crown today after approximately 40cms of 1F snow fell on it.

Here in one thread are all the shots I know of about the slide

http://www.wheelsandwax.com/forums/u...es/web_153.jpg

From the Whistler Blackcomb Avalanche Advisory of January 11, 2008

A size 3 accidentally skier triggered avalanche on Sunday occurred in the ski area on a NE aspect after explosive testing and ski cutting failed to trigger any result. The crown was 3.75 meters deep and 75 meters wide and was determined to have ran on the December 4th rain crust.

There is no avalanche incident report in the avalanche.ca forums so here are my obs.

I measured the crown at 235cms (the ski poles in the picture were 125cms long and i placed them on the bed surface supported by the surrounding snow. This is not the highest part of the crown.

Slope angle where I stood was 42 degrees

I tried to dig through the bed surface (which was a melt-freeze crust) - didn't have a shovel or a sharp implement and dug to about 25cms without penetrating the crust.

The crown appears to have sheared as a solid block. Again I didn't have good light, good conditions or tools to assess properly but it appears to be 4F snow and cohesive. There was no indication that it stepped down. I would guess it was a thick slab.

Shot of the crown. Pole is resting on bed surface



Top of pole is a little below the crown. Bottom of pole is on bed surface



Front picture of crown with poles in place.



Shot of crown from glacier. I took the pictures on the lookers left side of the crown

wtf doesn't look promising there? The sun? Maybe with some clear weather and some stabiliy we can finally have a look and see what the alpine looks like and do some touring.

-14, -11 .... pussies

This east coast turned west coast girl is use to -20 C.

Could have been a wasted day but since 7th wasn’t open yesterday …. fresh pow, ~14cm, could be found all morning, and if I brought my touring gear it would have secured a full day but a little worried about the avy danger lately.

The lovely bluebird day kept us warm, and the cold kept the snow light. Windblown!? None in the tree or Lakeside Bowl.

The best part, I got paid to ski today. I needed a ski wellness day and I have 16 left for the year
