Toured into Rescue Creek to assess the damage from yesterday’s high-reaching rain event.
To 6800'
Failed on ice crust near the ground. Weak layer above crust was 1.5-2.0 mm facets, slab was P to 1F hard. The slope above is heavily corniced, but didn't see any obvious evidence of a cornice fall. If there was one, it was relatively small.
2 wind slabs that were triggered by small spillovers of debris from the hard slab avalanche. Probably can all count as one avalanche event, but the distinction is to highlight surface instabilities yesterday as well.
Wild guess on the date. The crown wasn't visible during our last visit to the basin on Jan 15.
