Video Shows Skier Triggering an Avalanche in New Hampshire
Nearly 10 inches of new snow and strong winds have destabilized snowpack, raising avalanche risk to considerable above 3,000 feet, the Mount Washington Avalanche Center said.
- On Wednesday, the Mount Washington Avalanche Center rated avalanche danger as "considerable" at elevations above 3,000 feet, warning of widespread unstable conditions through Thursday.
- Nearly 10 inches of new snow fell near Mount Washington's summit in the past 48 hours, and stronger winds have created unstable wind slabs atop a weak snowpack.
- This warning follows a video from last week showing a skier triggering an avalanche in the Sluice area of Tuckerman Ravine, which an observer captured on camera.
- The center advises backcountry travelers to evaluate conditions carefully and make conservative decisions, especially on steep, eastern-facing slopes like Huntington Ravine and the Gulf of Slides.
- Adventurers heading to the White Mountains should maintain constant awareness and conservative route planning through Thursday as conditions remain unstable at high elevations.
