3-3-17 Blackerby Ridge

With no viable options for good safe skiing and continued high winds, we opted the safe route up Blackerby Ridge until the safety ran out, then we turned around.  Conditions are at least as sketchy as they were yesterday, if not more sketchy.  Continued remote release/propogation to distant slopes, stuff sliding on low angle slopes that you wouldn't normally expect.  This cycle is breaking all the rules.  Hopefully it will puke rain and get warm, maybe that will either cause a huge avy cycle, or heal it up.  Who knows.

Heading up Blackerby

Ridiculous winds on Blackerby.  We stopped short of Cairn Peak due to horrendous avy conditions.  We were just hiking with skis today, that was the only objective.

Oh, it was cold, too.

Got down early and headed to the ice caves.
