Snowpack Observations

Details

From Avalanche Gulch during the wind event on Feb. 5.  Experienced skiers will recognize the wall of windblown snow in the lower right coming down the gulch at about 60MPH.  Note the amazing amount of snow transport on Sargent's Ridge above the old ski bowl.  This wind event removed several feet of snow from the gulch and sent it to Idaho.
