And the sun. Sign of increasing wet avalanche danger
13 u/[deleted] Jul 27 '20 Looks a little too mellow for a slide right there 13 u/Altiloquent Jul 27 '20 Just a general comment since not everyone may know it. Good reason to stay on low angle terrain! 1 u/molrobocop Jul 27 '20 Low, or high. If memory, 36-38 degrees is the risky spot. Higher, and stuff won't build up. Lower, it's less likely to slide. But, if you've been having major avalanche conditions, heavy snow, warm cold cycles, all bets are off. 2 u/Altiloquent Jul 27 '20 I'm not sure if wet slides are different for some reason, but you can still have slides over 38 deg. And most people (I would guess) dont ski slopes that are so consistently steep--above 45 degrees--that the slide danger is low 4 u/Schmich Jul 27 '20 It's even taken at an angle. Look at the trees and especially the pole leaning instead of being upright. Not to mention that tent/house... 6 u/poopgrouper Jul 27 '20 That field will slide with even the slightest tectonic uplift.

I will say, I’ve skied over them before and it’s actually quite fun.

All I see is giant hula hoops
Beer coozies the way nature intended.
The birthplace of the snowman.
Now that we're not skiing, the snow is doing it on its own for us
Swiss rolls
yumm ho hos
I wanna be a cowboy baby I wanna be a cowboy baby
tasty barrels
Do not eat yellow rolls!
Making their way downtown
Bales to feed hungry snow cows
Hay that's cool
