TTT..................everybody needs to take a peek at that. If that doesnt scare ya, you're already dead

That's why we are staying away from Crusted Butte this weekend. No visibility and way to dangerous. Not that anywhere else will not slide, it is that way everywhere.. Just stay in the trees and meadows and be safe.

Just as bad. If you can make a steep ditch slide, a long hillside won't be an issue either.

Keep it up................I love being scared, and those vids keep the danger RIGHT IN MY FACE. I need that, 'cause my new Turbo Apex has me frothing at the mouth to go vertical. Man, what a CRAPPY YEAR

We were at Spring Creek yesterday, on the way back at Cottonwood Pass some rocket scientists were high marking the bowl, the whole face let go. Can't fix stupid.....

 

[trinitypowder]

Thats a big scary bowl to have let go

Rode Black Mtn from the freeman side sat. Dug one pit didn't look as bad as Doo's pic but still 7 or so taps on the shovel a foot and a half would let loose.
Sunday we rode Battle Pass on the CO/WY border didnt dig any pits but seen alot of places let go that I've never seen slide.

Crested Butte Avalanche Report excerpt 3/1/12:

<<The CAIC has issued an avalanche warning for our area. Yesterday, a large natural avalanche ran on a northeast slope of Red Lady Bowl. It was close to 1000ft wide and ran 800ft vertically into the bowl. Another large D3 avalanche ran Tuesday on east through south alpine slopes of Mount Owen. This slide was 1500ft wide and slid 1000 vertical feet, running to the ground in places.>>
