Clearing Avalanches - May 13
 

"Today the crew on the west side spent the morning clearing the debris from 10 avalanches that hit the road, mainly in the Slopes area. With new snow in the starting zones and rising temperatures yesterday afternoon, the crew stopped early due to rising avalanche hazard. Sometime after the crew left yesterday, these avalanches hit the road, leaving up to 25' of debris for the crew to work through this morning."

- Chris Lundy, NPS Avalanche Specialist
