Maid/Bole/Divide Area
Date
Activity
Skiing
We skied the SW face of Mt Bole yesterday (2/12) into the head of Storm Castle creek before wrapping back around to Divide. The only evidence of semi-recent avalanches was some cornice debris covered by the previous day’s snow off of the Arden and Bole ridge lines. The winds were gusting quite hard but not with enough frequency to facilitate much transport, and slab formation was minimal on all leeward aspects. There was around 2-4 inches of new snow at tree line and in the alpine. My most notable observation was just how THIN that whole area is, I hadn’t been up to the maid yet this year and was blown away by how many rocks are still out.
