Route & General Observations

Little natural avalanche activity was seen today along Turnagain Pass. The only avalanches from the 12/09/19 storm were in Todd’s Bowl and the Elevator Shaft of the north side of Sunburst. Limited visibility made it tough to discern many of the slope in the further reaches in the area.
