Dry Loose on Ross Pk.

Date
Activity
Skiing

Skied the Banana Coulior off Ross today. 6-8" of fresh, dry snow has fallen and lies above a bomber crust that was observed on all aspects we traveled on. The weak interface between new, dry snow and the pervasive crust allowed for a large sluff, or dry-loose slide, that began near the top of the Banana Coulior and ran for ~ 500'
