Human Triggered Avalanche Mt Blackmore 2-12-10

2" of new snow and lots of wind from the S-SW made for sensitve conditions on Mt Blackmore.  We triggered numerous slopes that were similare to this one.  No deep slab releases, but these were easily big enough to drag a person into rocks or over cliffs.  Slopes with a N-NE aspect were by far the most active.  Photo by GNFAC
