Another Sheep Basin Avalanche

Another Sheep Basin Avalanche

A snowmobiler likely triggered an avalanche adjacent to the slides from last week.  Hard slabs of wind blown snow are being triggered from thinner areas of the slope. Lesson: slopes adjacent to avalanches are also unstable. Video of last weeks investigation is here; photo of last weeks avalanche is here. Photo: B. Fredlund
