Large avalanche off Mt Kidd on Tuesday. This sz 3 avalanche was likely triggered by winds and new snow and ran close to 800m downslope.

Moose Creek Loop is a mess of downed trees, unlikely to be cleared until early summer. Not recommended. In one area it appears a microburst has touched down and levelled all trees for about 300 m.
ALT The main loop has so many blowdowns like this its very difficult to navigate.
ALT To the right is a large area of felled trees where a microburst probably touched down.
ALT Tom Snow from the bridge back to the well road has many deadfalls.

Storm to cross the region over the next few days! Models are calling for 40-80cm of snow, warm temps and strong winds. This will cause avalanche danger to increase.
