>>2386915I have quite a bit of relevant alpine experience - anchors, shelters, climbing, rescue rope skills.
Snow? Honestly fuck knows mate, I just make sure I’m with an experienced snow person.
It’s all about depth, angles, pack, layers, grain size … it a whole thing on its own.
Seek specialist advice.
There’s some really unintuitive shit, like little slope = moderate risk, medium slope = high risk, steep slope = very low risk.
It’s all about how layers bond at depth layers vs density vs depth vs some magic.
Snow experts, is this a fair call from a river guide/rock dabbler that climbs the odd mountain with pros?
Oh then there’s rescue…
