Spring Time Avalanches, Basic Snow School
This weekend has been about warm temps and avalanches.
This slab avalanche that occurred happened Thursday afternoon. This was at about 8,000' right on the moraine. Not a place that avalanches happen very often.
Spent the weekend teaching Ice Axe and Crampon Clinics. Very important skills to have for climbing Mt. Shasta. Good job Jason, Joel and Chris. Good luck to the summit!More info about clinics at swsmtns.com/mtshastaclinics.html
Another avalanche off of s.e. slope of Casaval Ridge. This happens quite frequently off the ridge.
This is Sun bowl. Known for avalanches. It set off Friday afternoon. The bowl next to it is Powder Bowl. Another nortorous bowl for avalanches. Skiers paradise with the perfect corn conditions.Just want to say "Happy Mother's Day"

Hi Robin, Thanks for teaching us, and taking us up to camp. I hope you got back down before it got to late. I didn't make it to the summit, but joel did. I had to turn back, my knee was hurting me too much. Take it easy, and thanks again for everything. Jason.
