May 2

I caught the bus to Alta, again.

alta-pano

The little storm from yesterday had already settled out so I

upper-cardiff

skipped the upper for a tour-High Ivory to Mineral fork.

barrieto-stach

A large wet slab avalanche had run, the result of heavy rain on April 26th.

crown

Path is called Barrieto. Ene facing. The crown was up to about 8' deep, maybe 100' wide.

slide-path

It took out the winter snowpack in places,

avy-toe

running through the low angle to the flats, trenching the path with a debris pile over 10' deep on the summer trail.

So much for Mineral.
