6820

6820 vertical feet today. 10 inches of fresh snow but really heavy, wet stuff. I found it a totally different experience to skiing on a couple of inches of powder on top of hardpack. I called it a day just after noon - I was knackered. It was creepy today - the avalanche cannons were going off all day, and on one ride up Sunrise we heard an avalanche start in the back-country to our left. There was this loud 'crack' followed by an increasing rumble that faded as the snow got further down the hill. About 20 minutes later we heard two or three other ones set off somewhere in the Canyon, followed by a positively military salvo of cannons. It was actually pretty scary.
I'll have to check the news tonight and see if anyone was caught in them.
