Observation

Description of Snow, Weather, and Avalanche Conditions:

Toured up Incline Peak. Noted about 5” new snow, and light winds. Skier cut a convexity above a chute that funneled down to a constriction. Small, 2-3” crown, approximately 20’ wide, that ran approximately 60’ down the slope. Large enough to knock a person off their feet and into a tree or rock, but even in the constriction, probably not enough to bury a traveler.
