Observations

Front Range – North Fork Campbell Creek & Upper Snowhawk Valley:

Today we toured up the N Fork Campbell Creek and dropped into the Upper Snowhawk valley from Tikishla Pass. Here are some scenes from the day, including a SS-N-D2-R3-I wind slab that released in the Tanaina north couloir. Also, pictured is a HS-N-D2.5-R3-O persistent slab on a SW aspect of Pt 1430 (upper Snowhawk valley headwall) that ran ~700’, has a ~4’ crown, and propagated widely. It likely slid on an old crust overlain by facets.
