avy danger

depends on the snow pack and a lot of other shit, that's pretty steep, I doubt they're that steep.


I think Anthony Boronowski in general is just a phase.

im serous. it's a huge cliff and the base where the rock slides are makes up the bowls.

get certifyed.

how?

ehh 60 degrees is pretty steep man you may want to check your numbers. if it is, you just have to make sure u have bomber snowpack. and like phrosty said definatley get a cert so then you can learn everything and take it there and apply it, and really know if its safe

First of all, I also doubt theyre 60 degrees, but I'll take your word for it.

IF they are 50 degrees plus, they probably wont slide, that is, slopes that steep dont generally collect snow. As soon as it snows, it sluffs off.

BUT if the slopes are only 100-200 ft. they could slide due to triggering from below.

For instance, when youre hiking into the bowl from the bottom, youre making a track, breaking through layers. If the layers youre breaking are supporting the snowpack on the steeper slope it could collapse. If the bowl quickly flattens or drops into a gulley you could be entering a 'terrain trap' where a small slide or sluff can pile as deep as 10 or 15 feet or more.

I would suggest picking up some books this summer. I just read the book 'Snow Sense.' You can get it at EMS. Here in Boulder you can take hands on certification classes as early as December for a couple hundred bucks.

^That's quality advice right there. 60 degrees is pretty steep, but if it is, sweet. Just remember when you are dropping big cliffs, there needs to be a steep landing to carry your momentum down rather than making your body crush into itself on flat snow.
