Cold, Deep Snow, Blizzards

Crown walls of observed avalanche are just visible in the top left corner of picture. Avalanche released either yesterday or last night. Crown wall 1m deep in places and 100m across has travelled 350 metres with enough debris to bury a car (size 3 avalanche) NW aspect 1100m.
A respite in the storm gave us some visibility for a short while – closing in again later with heavyy snowfall. Snowpack remains weak on most aspects.
