It's time to swear off slopes that are about 30 degrees or steeper for the rest of the season.

I used to use Sheep Creek as one of my data snowpit sites back when I worked for CAIC. While once approaching the bowl to digging my study pit I set off the whole bowl. I was tied in with a rope back to a tree, so I didn't get pulled into the avalanche. I was also on the body recovery effort on the April 20, 2013 accident. Sheep Creek is a very bad place, with lots of wind loading on perfect 30+ terrain.

I’m not sure why you’d fuck with that area given its history.

Fritz ... that's your report, correct?
I'm guessing you were already anticipating instability considering the start of our season. Aside from the obvious that it slid, how did conditions compare to what you were expecting to find?
