Justin A. Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 To anybody planning on coming up here or anybody here, be careful out there. The recent snowfall-rainfall-sleet-snow-rain-sleet-snow has been causing LOTS of avalanches in the backcountry, and even inbounds in some places. Between yesterday and today, I know of at least 5 confirmed avalanches at Bretton Woods. Yeah, flat 'ol bretton woods. I was involved in one (small one, I was knocked over and buried up to mid-calf) and a patroller buddy of mine was buried up to his waist in another. Both could have been much worse had we gone in head first and been buried that way. Just a reminder that even if you're riding inbounds, keep an eye on the snowpack when on the steep stuff and ride safe and smart. Edit: Wow.
