Hebgen Lake Observations

From email: "My partner and I toured up to the ridgeline overlooking Hebgen this morning, and I wanted to share our observations. With the exception of some light north winds while walking across the lake, winds were exceptionally calm the remainder of the day.

We noticed a multitude of slides on north- and east-facing slopes, many of which seemed to have been from the prior weekend. I snapped a picture of one on the opposite side of the drainage that was a couple of feet deep. Adjacent to it was some more debris.

We experienced no cracking/collapsing the entire day, which was honestly quite shocking. Given the exceptionally weak snowpack and recent avalanches, we stuck to the ridgeline and followed our uptrack down. Great turns regardless. "
